It was a beautiful sunning day and while I was on the
Isle of Wight last time, my daughter and I decided to go to the Ventnor
Botanical Gardens which I had never visited.
I will show you those photographs in a later post sometime.
Afterwards, we decided to walk by the coast
road from the gardens into Ventnor for lunch and this is when we discovered the
‘Pirates’! This is my photographic walk
and I suggest as there are a lot of shots
you grab you coffee, sit comfortable, put into slide mode and enjoy.
View from the gardens along the coast.
Off we go on our walk.
A few more hills to climb! Come on, you can do it. Think of lunch waiting!
Nearly there!
Phew!
First view of one of the Pirates!
The Spyglass Inn has wonderful food and you could spend a lot of time inside looking at all the things they have collected. CLICK HERE to go to their web site.
This is Gillian, my daughter and it was wonderful to sit outside for lunch in March, in the sun, overlooking this beautiful Bay.
Hope you are not
as exhausted looking at these photos as this sailor appears to be. He must have finished his watch or could he have had to much of the 'hard stuff'!
Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for all your comments on any of my posts.
How nice to see a photo of your daughter Margaret. Lovely photo of her. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed all these lovely photos, thank you so much. I'd better get off to bed now. You'll just be waking up but I am way past my bedtime as it is 1.02 a.m. :) Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteAnd sorry, I am now about to share two DREADFUL pirate jokes.
Why are pirates called pirates?
Because they aarrrrgh.
and
How much does a pirate pay to have his ears pierced?
Buck an ear (buccaneer).
Sorry.

DeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. I have enjoyed checking out your blog as well. Actually, you had me all excited with your visit to Isle of Wight!! Seems that much of my family started out here in the Isle of Wight --- and after googling it -- turns out that my family was in Isle of Wight, Virginia. I was getting ready to make a trip for this summer to do some courthouse searching for my genealogy.
What a fun place!!
HI Susan Wow! Another I.O.W.. I wonder will you find that the people who settles in Virginia came from the English I.O.W. Hope you find put lots about your family tree and thanks for comment.

This was a fun post! That inn looks wonderful and I WAS tired and thirsty after that climb :) The scenic views are just breathtaking! :)
ReplyDeleteHI Deb We aim to please, now you know how I felt about the walk/climb. I said to me daughter that I thought I could not do it all again back to get the car at the Botanic Gardens but after lunch I was refreshed and I made it! Thanks for comment.
DeleteIt is a beautiful place! Goodness gracious, the views are spectacular!! Enjoyed your post very much. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping a kind word on my blog!
The Isle of White.... a name to dream about!
That is definitely a place I'd love to visit one day before we leave Europe!
The thatch roof on pic n° 8 is quite extraordinary, it gives a certain... personality to the house! Lol!
So enjoyable to be with your daughter to share the moment!
Keep well!
A lovely set of photographs Margaret, and enough to makes anyone want to visit the Isle of Wight. Do you work for their tourist board?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun entry!! Beautiful views and images!!
ReplyDeleteThe pirates are interesting and colorful, but the village and coast is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing your walk with us.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your daughter. Oh my...each picture was my favorite until I saw the next next!! I love all the fishing gear, the adorable little cottage, the pirate caught up in the net. The store looks like it is inside a big beautiful boat!
ReplyDeleteFun pictures! Thanks for sharing this journey.
