The Wonders of the Isle of Wight with Midi & Isobel

 The Wonders of The Isle of Wight 

Wow! How lucky were we! The sun was shinning as we visited the infamous tourist attraction The Needles. The views were simply spectacular. 

A trip on the steam train took us on a nostalgic journey and we imagined what it would have been like to travel on this train 60 years ago. The museum was full of old memorabilia and showcased the evolution of trains from steam to diesel. 

We explored the aviary and the birds of prey and we were thrilled to see a black kite and a two week old baby owl! 

It was our turn to get creative at the Sand Shop where we filled our chosen ornaments with the brightly coloured sand that can only be found on the island. We were all pretty proud of our creations! 

Another fabulous experience was enjoyed as we watched  the skilled glass craftsmen at work making some incredible items which we got to see in the gift shop, some of us treating ourselves to a little memento!

You would always find us on the dance floor, partying away in true JollyDays style! One of the highlights was showing off our line dancing skills to the Isle of Wights very own cowboy. 

A brilliant time was spent down at the bowling alley where it was game on! There were some great shots and even a few strikes! It was great to see everyone cheering each other on. 

We had some great archers in our group all giving Robin Hood a run for his money! After a few practise shots we were all hitting the target scoring highly!
