The Wonders of the Isle of Wight




As a souvenir we enjoyed
making sand glass ornaments with all the different coloured sands.
We
watched the glass blowers who made some lovely bowls and vases follow by a visit to the sweet
factory where we watched the sweet maker demonstrating how he made Rhubarb and
Custard sweets and we were lucky enough to try these delicious sweets!
On
the way back to our hotel we stopped at Freshwater Bay on the cliff top and
admired the spectacular views!
We
visited Quarr Abbey, this is home to a small group of Benedictine Monks. We sat
and had our lunch before visiting the chapel and the visitors centre which some
of the group attempted to create their own stain glassed window using a puzzle
in the centre.


After a cruise around the
Isle of Wight to Portsmouth we drove along the coastline to Shanklin Beach, where we enjoyed an ice cream sitting on
the beach. Some of us couldn't resist a paddle in the sea, what a wonderful day!
