As we often do, we booked another holiday while we were away, again to the Isle of Wight BUT I will be driving, far quicker and this time a week in a luxury lodge in a “woodland hide away. ” Next year. Of course Ellie will come with us.

We had breakfast and then started the long journey back. I have to say it was lovely sitting on the sun deck of the ferry.

Thankfully we had excellent air con in the coach. We were being told it would be the hottest temperature the UK has ever known. Outside the coach and when we stopped for lunch it was getting warm.

Explaining how many stops and the distance covered, when we stopped at 1.10, I put on my sat nav and it told me we were 1 hour 9 minutes from home. We arrived in Deal at 5.45!! That is why next time I am driving! We collected the car which cooled down quite quickly and went straight to collect Ellie from Rhys’s. She had been having fun in the pool.

Back home and the house cooled down quickly with the air con and fans.
