Studland is perfect for the dogs, especially early before more people arrive, and this morning it was just that.

There cannot be many better ways to start a day than a walk on a deserted beach, wearing out a couple of much loved dogs, with Old Harry appearing above a mercury sea, silhouetted against a clear blue sky.
