Isle of Wight Day 1

Hello, Crafters.

We
couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday! 

By the time we arrived
in Lymington to catch the ferry over to the Isle of Wight, the sun was
shining and just a few clouds in the sky. 

The sea was amazingly calm and
hubby arrived on the Island no worse for wear despite not having any
sea legs. 

We checked into the guest house called Foxhills, which is in
Shanklin.

After
we had unpacked, we took a walk around the town, and came back to our
room for a rest – we’d been up since 5am! 

Did you know all the swans in the UK belong to the Queen?

At 3.30pm we were off again to
investigate the beach and the seafront. 

We had an early dinner at
5.30pm at a Thai restauraunt – excellent – and then we went to visit the
Shanklin Chine, which is best seen after dark because of all the
lights.

Five
minutes before we left to make our way back to the guest house, the sky
opened!

 We were soaked by the time we made it back to our room. 

Despite
this finale, it was a great day. 

We’re about to set off to visit the
Needles and Alum Bay now, so until tomorrow, happy crafting.
