What will you do in the summer? After school finished, I am going to visit my grandparents' birthplace,Dorset http://www.visit-dorset.com/. It is in South West England and has the great Bournemouth Beach. It is a sandy beach and my mum says that it has a fantastic playground there. I am so excited to visit it. In Dorset, there is the world's second largest natural harbour with five islands such as Broensea Island http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/brownsea-island/, where we will enjoy swimming and a nice family picnic. We will visit the Jurassic Coast http://jurassiccoast.org/ which is full of fossils and my brother and sister promised me to go cycling and fishing. Can't wait!!
You can meet my family better on my electronic family book and you can explore photos from Dorset: e-book:
