Beanie on the Isle of Wight, Day Three

On Sunday, we got up and found that it wasn't as sunny as Saturday.

We had Weety Bicks for breakfast!!


Then, when Lynne was ready and after I'd packed, we went and loaded up in the car!
It was time to go!!

So off we went for Drive!

First of all, we stopped at Busy Bee Garden Centre!! (Andrea just told me that the Union Jack flag is upside down, she thinks... oops!)

We saw some fun things in here!!

 They had loads of cheap envelopes!! I make my own though so we don't need to buy any of these ones.....


 and we also saw some feather boa's!! They tickled and made me sneeze!

We also met Piggy!

We stopped for coffee while we were here and I got a Royal Wedding Mug!!!! Andrea said I could take it home with me too!!


Outside, we saw a Vintage Car!! Can we take this home too???
Please?!

Then we went for another drive!!

We stopped off here too!!!

 OH!! Yellow raffia! Let's get some!


We found dragons too!!


And more ladybugs!!


Then we went for another drive!!
You definitely need a car on Isle of Wight!!


And then it was time to go On the Pier!!


We arrived early for our boat home, so we said goodbye to Lynne!!
I like Lynne....!


Then we saw our Swimming Cat arrive, so we got on ready for Sailing!





Bye Bye Isle of Wight!! It was nice to see you again!!!


And here we are arriving at Ports Mouth!! You can just about see the Spinnaker Tower there...


There is it!!! Andrea says it was built to look like a thing called Spinnaker Sail which are on things called Yachts.


And we got here just in time to get train home!!


We had Sandwiches on the way too.....


...... while we were whizzing our way through the countryside!.....


And then we walked home from the train station!!
What a fun weekend!!!

Beanie on the Isle of Wight, Day One


Last Friday, Andrea said we were going somewhere and put me in charge of packing!!

I'm very good at packing!

See? Didn't take long at all!!!


Before we left, we had time to watch Prince William on the telly. He's at Westminster Abbey!

That's his girlfriend getting into a posh car at Goring Hotel. We found that last week!!


Oh look! There she is getting out at Westminster Abbey as well!! She's wearing a very pretty frock!

there's her Dad walking her down the red carpet! Andrea says that colour is called Abbey Red!

And that's her sister carrying the Train.

There they are at the tomb of the unknown soldier! They walked up round one side, and came down round the other side!

 And there's Prince Harry, Prince William, Catherine, and Catherine's Dad at the altar!
Now we know they've all arrived safely, it was time for us to go!

I wonder where we're going today....

We've arrived at Hove Train Station!!

I got my very own table seat!!

And we're off through the English Countryside!

We got off at Ports Mouth Harbour and saw a fancy boat!! We really should investigate that one day, you know....

We had time to have a Spot Of Lunch. Yummmm...!

Then we saw a Cat-A-Maran turn up!! We're getting a swimming Cat to Isle of Wight!!!

And we're off!!!

15 minutes later, we saw the Isle Of Wight!!!

Here we are at Ryde Pier Head!!! Yippee!!!

Andrea's friend Lynne came to collect us!! She didn't have to work today either because she was watching the Royal Wedding too!!!

First of all, we stopped at the beach. The tide had gone out - wonder if tide went to the Wedding??

We saw lots of shells stuck to things!!

I had my picture taken with Andrea too!!!

And then we found a spade handle!!!!! I wonder what they were digging for?

Then we went to Arcade Games place and I won a rubber ball!!!!!!!!!!! We nearly didn't win anything, but just as we were about to leave, the ball fell out with some more 2p coins!!
That was funny and we all cheered!!


Then we went back to car and drove to Lynne's house.

We met Tinker Parrot again!! She didn't growl at me this time!

We had toasted Hot Cross Buns..... but Andrea didn't say what they were cross about.

Then for dinner, we had Pepperoni Pizza and salad!! Yummmy!!!

We were really tired after today's excitement..... we even found some sea glass and funny shells on the beach too!!

And then we went to bed.....zzzzzzzzzzz....
