a short break
Just come back from a short break at Sandown on the Isle of Wight.
Weather was good on the Saturday and Monday but very wet on the Sunday.
On the Sunday we went on the Steam Train and afterwards, we were supposed to be going on to Ryde but, weather was so bad we went straight back to the Hotel.Everyone was wet through.
Lovely hotel room overlooking the Sea and food was very good as was entertainment at night.Here is a view of Sandown Bay from our Bedroom when we arrived
We also visited West Cowes, Yarmouth, Ventnor and eventually Ryde.

Cluny House Gardens
If you are visiting Scotland and anywhere near Aberfeldy do go and visit Cluny House Himalayan Gardens, you won't regret it, it is a real delight.
There are 33 separate parts of the garden to see. If it.s a wet day you may need the Wellies as it can get a bit wet underfoot in places.
Some photos I took while there.

you are usually sure of seeing a red squirrel or two
