My parents visited us for the weekend and we had a lovely time travelling to various places on the Isle of Wight and spending time together.
On Saturday we visited Freshwater and walked part of the Tennyson trail. There are two ways to walk from Freshwater Bay onto the trail, and we chose the route through the field fulls of cows and at least one bull! We had made a packed lunch and ate it halfway up a hill. On the way back we stopped off at a hotel for some refreshment, whilst it rained and the wind picked up. We enjoyed the dramatic view of the waves crashing upon Freshwater beach over cups of tea. That night we ate out at a local Indian restaurant.
On Sunday we visited a local Lavender farm, Sandown and St Helens. At the farm, I took a few minutes to enjoy their garden. Also whilst visiting the farm I spotted some sheep nearby. The area around the farm buildings was very quiet and it was quite relaxing. Whilst the farm is a small location to visit, we were all happy to have taken the time.
We enjoyed a walk along part of Sandown seafront and then once back in our home town, visited one of our favourite restaurants for dinner.
It was great to catch up and spend time together, and lovely to visit and share some of our favourite locations on the island.
