I’d had a couple of conversations with some friends about visiting some of our favourite secret beaches together. The idea didn’t come to fruition but we did hear of a beach we hadn’t discovered before. Yesterday my sister paid us an impromptu visit. This was largely so the two Jonathan’s could visit the tank museum [Continue]
So today was the first day with nothing in the diary. We had seen in the Fizz booklet that there was a reasonably priced 1640s re-enactment at Northcourt Manor in Shorwell titled Ring of Steel and decided that we would give it a go today. This was influenced partly by my tight side – they give free readmission for the rest [Continue]
Yesterday was our final tech rehearsal and dress rehearsal. Martin went to a production meeting at 10.30 and we didn’t get home again until after 7 so it was a long long day. So here are a few piccies from then to whet your appetite for the show. This shows the Train scene and also the [Continue]
This week Friday was Sunday. We were busy on Sunday leading the service along with The Eternal Flame and then Martin was doing the PA for Gospel Choir, so we decided that we would make Friday our day of rest this week. A lazy morning was in order to begin with, late start and a cooked [Continue]

Last year we were a little [Continue]
I was at the beach the other day with my new camera (thank You Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Gibson!) and decided to do a Dad and take pictures of the beautiful scenery on the beach. So here are the pebbles on the beach! [Continue]
So all the family went to the festival this year to volunteer with Island 2000 to raise money for bee projects on the Island. The littlest two only did Friday but the rest of us were there all week end. So here we have Jonathan leaping between the staw bale sofas and being a [Continue]
On Monday, while still being tired (but nolonger dirty) from camp, we visited the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. The timing came about because we were able to use the £1 special offer tickets on the hovercraft. So while we were all exhausted we had a 3 hour window of opportunity in Portsmouth. The Spinnaker [Continue]
