Hi, Oliver,
Now that we are back in US, my wife and I both agree that, although we enjoyed Paris and Rome, the day we spent (Thursday, 4 June) in Dorset with Danny in hot pursuit of T. E. Lawrence was the best overall day of our vacation. We had just finished a crowded bus tour the day before (Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford) and my wife was glad to travel in luxury for a change. The weather was perfect (we were very lucky with weather our whole trip, I have to say).
We did wander around narrow country roads a bit through various Warehams, but that was all part of the adventure. We ended with a fine time at Corfe Castle, having visited the Tank Museum, Clouds Hill, Lawrence’s grave, and much more. A dream come true for me, and I was surprised my wife took such an interest in tank history (then again, she is a teacher).
It was our driver who uncovered the fact that the woman “guide” at Clouds Hill was a “cousin” of Lawrence’s: Lady Theresa Jenkins-Teague, who is related to the Chapman side of Lawrence’s family. That was the highlight of the day for me.
I am now a proud member of the TEL Society, and I will be sure to recommend your services to anyone who needs a car in London. I am already compiling a list of places we must go on our next visit. :-)
Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day.
