Today after a leisurely breakfast theym off to catch the bus outside our site to Cowes. First of all they have to perilously cross the road outside, it must be the busiest road on the island with a constant flow of traffic going in to Newport.
After arriving at East Cowes they tek the moving floating bridge to West Cowes. (Another sort of boat for her to fret over)!
West Cowes is full of independent shops and they find a lovely Butchers shop to buy huge steaks for Saturdays tea.
They ambled around with himself trying (and failing) to steer her by shoe and clothes shops and eventually extreme thirst came upon them so of course a pub visit ensued as he had to sample the local ale Goddards, and very nice it was too.
The sky is getting darker so they headed back to the floating bridge before it rains and bus it home.Read more
Well done on crossing the road!! Sounds like an adventure in itself. I found a butchers too, after all these years.....inside Winn Dixies there's an Independant butchery, very nice. A wobbly bridge would have also been a challenge for Deb and good lucj keeping her out of clothes shops, you could buy some reins!!! Mark is pleased you've got to sample some local brew too 👏🍺👍 [Fiona]
