look at that.

People leaving their litter all over...

The sea comes in...

(CONTINUES CHATTERING, INAUDIBLE)

KEITH:
It's only low stratus

that's moving across quite quickly.

Look at that poor chap.

-He must be soaked, Keith.

-Yes.

-Shall we give him a lift?

-Shall we?

Yes.

Want a lift?

Well, if you're going near the campsite,

yes, please.

Our larder isn't sticking in you,

is it?

No.

Oh, it's just a small

larder that we've brought with us.

It's got a wire mesh front

and it keeps the food nice and fresh.

-It's handy, that, isn't it?

-Yes.

Where are you from?

Cardiff, but I'm studying

up in London now..

-At university?

-No, teachers' training college.

Oh.

Keith works for the Social Services,

don't you, Keith?

Oh, aye?

Organises pensioners' holidays,

Meals on Wheels, that sort of thing.

Ah.

-I work in a toy shop.

-Oh.

(CHUCKLES)

CANDICE MARIE:
Oh, sorry, what's your

name, if you don't mind me asking?

Ray.

Well, that's Keith,

and I'm Candice Marie.

RAY:
Pleased to meet you.

Nice, isn't he, Keith?

Good job I wore my boots today, Keith.

My feet would have got soaked.

I'm going up West Hill for a walk.

Excuse me, Ray.

Sorry to trouble you,

but I was just wondering

if you'd like to have a look

at the pebbles I've collected?

-Yeah, sure. Do you want to come in?

-Thank you.

It's... It's a bit cramped,

you know, but it's all right, like.

-Hmm.

-I was just drying out.

Yes, I've had to change

my trousers as well.

-There you are.

-Oh, thank you.

-All right.

-It's nice, isn't it?

Well, it's all right for one, you know.

(RAY CLEARS THROAT)

These are the pebbles I've collected.

This one in particular is really nice.

I was going to varnish it

and then set it on a ring like that.

-That'd be nice, that.

-Lovely, isn't it?

Not too sure what it is, actually.

It might be...

Might have some flint in it,

I'm not sure.

-Well...

-Lovely.

I'm not too sure, either, really.

I'm only a sort of amateur

geologist myself but...

I got to do it as part of my course,

you know.

-Oh, at college?

-Yeah, it's part of my history course.

I've got to do a thesis on the geology

of a certain area, like, you know.

It's not my main subject,

like, PE's my main subject

but I've got to do history

as a subsidiary subject.

Funny combination, isn't it?

PE and history.

Yeah, if I had my way

I'd just sort of do PE

but, you know, one of those things.

-Oh, isn't that a lovely drawing.

-Yeah, it's a good book, that.

Ancient Purbeck.

Lovely dinosaur on the front.

It's got everything, you know,

history, geology, everything.

Keith'd love this book.

Well, you can borrow it if you want.

-Could I?

-Yeah.

-Just for a couple of days?
