Is the little cottage hospital still in swanage?

 

[Goateeblank]

Just looked it up and there is still a little community hospital with a minor injuries unit which l hope to never visit!
Have you had need of It?

 

[ouchthathurt]

I did one of my placements there as a student nurse in 2002. I lived in the Poole hospital nursing block (tampax towers) and used to go over on the ferry on my motorbike each day. Through studland, there were flocks of deer with a Snow White stag. Love that area!

I like to hear people's stories like that.
It is a lovely part of the South Coast.
What bike did you have? Still got one?

 

[ouchthathurt]

I had a GSXR600 back then, unfortunately the bike is gone now, I couldn’t ride it safely with my knackered shoulder picked up in afghan. I joined the army in Bournemouth, then got posted to Blandford for a few years. If I could, I’d live down that way now, but my life is in East Sussex, not a bad place really!

 

[Goateeblank]

Got about a bit then!
The holiday rates are dropping now. Maybe book a couple of days away and see some old haunts and do a spot of fishing! Now tell me that does not sound good!

 

[ouchthathurt]

Don’t tempt me mate! I keep thinking of just calling in sick and buggering off to shearwater for a few days carping. I love that lake. I’m off to weston super mare on the 11th. The rods are coming with me. (It’s a belated honeymoon) ?

It was and a night in the van before and the sunrise, etc, makes it into more of a mini adventure!
