26th October. Sunday rain and a ferry crossing on the 18th.
Back to normal........I really wish that today had felt normal.
It has been Sunday, but it was far too wet to consider going to a car boot sale.
And somehow putting the clocks back one hour has caused a jarring to our own body clocks.
The cats certainly didn't believe that it wasn't really time for their evening meal at about half past four when started to get dark on this dull day.
But I have learned something today about Sundays that I hadn't been aware of - the whole world goes shopping!
The car park at Asda was full and fraught.
A peer through the doors revealed packed aisles.
We just didn't want to be there and so called in at a local Co-op store instead to buy bread and a few bits.
By the end of the day I felt so tired that I didn't want to eat anyway.
I am not surprised that tiredness has set in - we really have lived life to the full during the last week.
And so to a few pictures to start the story of our Isle of Wight experience.
We begin at the beginning - the ferry crossing.
It doesn't take long - about 45 minutes.
We spent the time outside and it felt warm out of the wind.
Of course we both posed for pictures as we left the harbour.
Nearing the Isle of Wight with a flotilla of yachts from the Cowes yacht club situated round the headland.

Just look at the bright blue sky over the boat and the new Spinnaker Tower.
Of course we both posed for pictures as we left the harbour.

White sails in the sparkling morning sun.
