We were up early and through the wood, on to the beach. They forecast heavy rain but it didn’t happen!
We had a long walk on the beach and watched the ferry leaving.
After breakfast we headed for the Garlic Farm. Another road closure which sent us a good extra 10 miles to get there. I have never known so many road closures.
We eventually arrived (down single track lanes) and took Ellie on one of the walks.
and then back in to the shop for sampling and purchasing!
We really spent most of the day dodging the rain but decided to drive to Shanklin…….another road closure, I found it difficult to believe so many roads are closed. No wonder there were so few people in Shanklin.
We had lunch (crab sandwich) in Pencil Cottage Tea Garden and then went into their shop. Couldn’t believe it, everything in the shop was half price, so obviously I now have a few Christmas presents! We chatted for ages to the lady in there. The people who own Pencil Cottage raise money for a school in Gambia.
