Out & About on the Isle of Wight with Colin & Jeanette

We met up and had a lovely lunch at the Rose and Crown at Brockenhurst.  We then caught the ferry over to Yarmouth where checked into our lovely resort.  We unpacked excitedly and then had a lovely dinner.  Each night we watched the fantastic entertainment, where the team put on stunning shows.  We clapped and danced along.



We visited the famous Needles, which we could see very clearly.  It was beautiful! Two of us were very brave and went on the chairlift down to the beach below.  We made our own sand shapes and watched the fantastic glass blowing.  We did a spot of shopping for gifts.  We had a  beautiful drive to Shanklin where we walked along the front and had an ice cream.  





 We had a beautiful day at Osborne House, the summer home of Queen Victoria. The house is stunning. We walked around the delightful walled garden. We then ambled leisurely along what used to be her 'private beach' and had a picnic.






We all enjoyed visiting the Donkey Sanctuary where we got to touch them and see how well they are looked after.  We then had a brilliant hotel garden party where we watched a Punch and Judy show and danced into the evening! 


On our final day we packed our things and stopped on the way home for a delicious pub lunch in at the Burley Inn.
