Travel Notes - Isle of Wight


last weekend we took a trip to the Isle of Wight.

 As a child I spent many a long hot Summer holidaying here so it holds many happy memories.

We visited friends who live on the island and timed our stay with the end of Cowes Week, the annual yacht racing event.

The sun shone all weekend!



 Sail boats and blue skies accompanied lunch at 
The Little Gloster, a Scandinavian themed restaurant overlooking the solent in Gurnard.

After heavenly crab cakes washed down with prosecco, we basked in striped deck chairs in the restaurant garden before heading back to Cowes for the finale fireworks.


My parents were also visiting the island at the same time so we spent our last night camping with them.

We sat out by candle light with cheese and wine, watching shooting stars and reminiscing about family holidays many moons ago.
