I have been home for just over a week since our family trip to the Isle of Wight. OMG I love that place!! There were 9 of us altogether, my oldest sister Amy her fiancee and two kids Ruby and George, my older sister Hannah, younger sister Olivia, myself, Jon and Molly. We stayed in Shanklin at the Shanklin Villa Apartments which was just lovely, sea views, private patio terrace area AND a hot tub!
It was lovely being away with all of my sisters, we haven’t been away together since we were kids, and one of the most visited places we went to was indeed the Isle of WIght. By the way the above photo of us chilling in the hot tub…? well it was blimming cold and we only stayed in for 4mins or so, we eventually got the tub warming up properly later on in the week. We visited all the places we did as children, and although much of it has fallen in the sea Blackgang Chine was just as remembered it. I was zoo glad to have been able to share it with my husband and daughter.
The Monday before we ferried off to the Isle of Wight (geddit!), Jon and I took Molly to the Natural History Museum in London, and we managed to squeeze in a lovely walk round Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
As I said we have been home for a week now, the sunshine has all but disappeared and we are slowly slipping back in our usual reality. No longer am I drying the washing outside on the line, but it is taking up space in my living room on a clothes horse. I have started work on a blanket for Molly, and I have a few other craft projects up my sleeve. More about those in my next post. But for now here is a sneak peak at Mollys blanket.
For now take care x
