Friday saw me packed and ready to leave with plenty of time to spare - whcih was a good thing as I got a call saying traffic was good and they would be early.
In fact we were able to catch the 4.30pm ferry rather than the 7.00pm as planned which meant plenty of time to settle in and gave a cup of coffee.
Went bowling on the Friday night - with me doing my best to come last. They turned on the ultra violet lights part way through, so boy was I glad to be wearing a black bra (unlike some).
Saturday morning after a large breakfast a car load headed for Yarmouth. It was lovely and sunny and I found a shop full of beads...that means more bracelets.
We thought we'd be late for lunch at a pub the other side of the IOW but then again everyone was running late so it didn't really matter. Got lost trying to find the pub - even my skills at hunting out real ale were not enough to direct us to the pub through sense of smell. In the end there was nothing for it but to ask the locals...
And then we found ourselves at the head of the convoy, how I can't work out.
Oh well, a pint of "Inspiration" and I was happy.
