A lot of planning went into this (by my husband), and much crossing of fingers re the weather!

The Duchess, book two in my 1960s mystery series, is set on the Isle of Wight during the summer of 1963. Here’s an insight
Today's stroll in Bowcombe to look at and photograph the poppies. Carisbrooke Castle is in the distance.

#IsleOfWight councillor: Military Road’s Cliff Waring System failed over decade ago
She was prompted to act after noticing the flashing cliff warning lights along Military Road have not been operational for years
She was told that the early warning system installed in 1997 became failed sometime before 2013
These were never reinstated under the #Highways #PFI contract, it has been revealed.
This morning’s #run included a quick pit stop to sample some wild strawberries.
These tasted AMAZING!
Sunset yesterday at Bembridge Lifeboat Station.

@sharongascoigne lovely! We’ve been to #Bembridge sailing a few times. Unfortunately UK customs make it almost impossible to go there again bc we have our dog which we imported from Yorkshire ourselves, with us now. We love the UK so much…#Solent #isleofwight
At the same time we love Ivy
It was nice to get out for a stroll this evening. Sunset wasn't great, but it was beautiful nonetheless #Bembridge #IsleofWight

Stony beaches are what beaches are meant to be. A degree of aloofness to human visitors, and a magical mirror of geological processes.
I love that part of England's coast; as a family we often end up on one part of it, or another. My daughters are ok with stone rather than sand, though my dog Castorp really prefers sand.
We've never been to Hayling Island, but we've been at many spots where the Isle of Wight looms in the background, quietly asserting itself as a major presence.
Glad to see all the little details are being spotted and enjoyed. If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re missing out on a beautiful rendering of Godshill Model Village, amongst other things.

Free good fings:
1. We fixed the problem of the robot hoover going in circles. There was ten years of dust behind the drive wheel, which forced the wheel off the drive shaft and so it just spun around without gripping the shaft. Cleaned out the crud and it seated back on the shaft nicely.
2. Yesterday's South Island Randonnée was grand, steaming along the Military Road at 40kph in the wake of some much stronger people. I managed it for a bit and then backed off to save some legs for the Freshwater hills. Wish I hadn't, now!
3. The rest of my group got in a panic about missing the ferry so skipped the last control point. I did the last control, this completing the course, and got back to the ferry with a huge margin of two minutes to spare. To say my friends were surprised to see me... and I have the bragging rights for a whole year.

A quick trip out tonight to watch the postponed New Year's Eve fireworks at Sandown.
At least the weather behaved this time
