Not such a bright day. A short walk for Ellie first thing, I think we wore her out yesterday. Then we headed for the Garlic Farm to replenish our supplies of garlic pickle. That has gone up 25p a jar since our last visit!
And they even have Garlic Beer!
From there we went on to the Donkey Sanctuary. Ellie loves the donkeys.
On the way back we stopped in Shanklin and for the second time this trip, went to my favourite shop, Crafty Days. Michelle the owner is a really lovely lady and has really great craft items for sale. Sadly she has a problem with her shop front, some is collapsing and she has been waiting for the workmen to arrive and she also has the council on her back as it was unsafe for a while. Meanwhile she is trying to run her business. What a mess. I really feel for her.
When back in the lodge, we discovered we had no internet yet again (now two and a half days). This should be included in our deal. Mal contacted reception and the receptionist who claimed to be the manager was actually quite rude to him so he then phoned Hoseasons complaints. Didn’t get very far but at least “Rob” was civil. Although you book through Hoseasons, it is owned by Darwin Estates. confusing. Mal made sure he knew we would be making a complaint with Resolva.
