    Hi bob, jenny & poppy. Aldridge hill is beautiful, my parents went there every year, it was my mum & dad favourite place to take the caravan. Lovely long walks there. Unfortunately my mother passed 3 years ago now & my dad is 93. They were married for 64 years. Which is a triumph. My dad is very active & healthy & says hes going to take the caravan back there for a holiday, so many memories. Have a lovely time on the isle of wight, its beautiful there too. Lots of love. Linda xx ❤

    Had holidays as kids on IOW we always went from Lymington, my Dad used to borrow his friends Bedford Dormobile. I used to remember advertising stickers on cars using the strap line “ We’ve been abroad to the Isle of Wight”

    Hi Bob & Jenny and wee poppy ‘ it’s a fantastic Island your off to . We have been going there for twenty something years to lodges but we bought a motorhome two years ago and arrange a trip there in it ‘ fantastic time , we did have to hire a car as some roads and towns are a wee bit tight .

Wish we had picked the wightlink ferry seems much better than red funnel and havjng to drive all through Southampton! Was lovely seeing your drive around lyndhurst we love it all round there been many times always so beautiful isn’t it All the best Daniel

    Hello Bob, Jenny and of course Poppy
    So pleased you are going to my favourite place in uk.
    Really recommend that you drive along the Military Road from Ventnor towards Freshwater so you can see Tennyson in the distance. The views the other way are are lovely too. Do this in the MH so you can see the views.
    If you want a walk our favourite is up Tennyson Down from Freshwater Bay. It starts by the old toilet block at cookie bootleg broke.
    You can walk down towards Alum Bay and catch the bus back or just go down the way you went up.
    Recommend Quarr Abbey for a visit
    Look forward to your vlogs
    Thank you 🙂🙂
