    Esher/Portsmouth/Poole
    Temperature: 9 degrees this morning, high of 13 degrees today .
    Left Esher 9.30am, arrived Portsmouth 11am (driving rain). Back to Esher at 5pm.
    Woke to a clear day, and it looks a little breezy but no rain. By the time we arrived at Portsmouth, the rain was pouring, and we went to the Old Historical Shipyard before continuing onto Poole. We pulled over into a layby and had our lunch before driving into Poole. The rain had stopped, thank goodness. Parked the car and had a walk around the waterside. We found the Poole crockey studio shop, I'm sad to say I wasn't that impressed, but I did see the turquoise and grey jug that I have, which belonged to Michael's mum.
    We did try and get a tour of the Royal National Lightboat Institution (RNLI), but they were doing maintenance today, so we missed out.
    It rained all the way back to Esher, but we did see a beautiful rainbow.    Read more
