Torrential rain overnight which woke me up…Mal didn’t hear it! This is our lodge behind Mal, hidden in the woods. Good practice for Ellie as there are quite a few steps down.
We walked through the wood and to the beach. As you see Portsmouth in the distance, it makes you wonder WHY the ferry is so expensive! Maybe we could try swimming it.
And on to the beach, the tide was in.
They had a Christmas craft fair on in the clubhouse and so we went along. They had some lovely Isle of Wight crafts and that’s another 2 Christmas presents!
We then drove to Freshwater along the Military road, stunning views.
We had lunch at the Vine Inn, highly recommend. We thought it would be fully booked but they had a couple of people didn’t turn up, so we were lucky and had a Sunday roast there, very reasonable and lovely friendly staff.
