    Wow that's some saving, well done. I always keep my phone for as long as possible after the contract ends, although I never go for the top of the range ones anyway, as long as it does what I need it to I'm happy.

    I've never had a new phone!  I always have DH's cast offs and he buys his second hand so they are at least 3rd hand by the time I get a new phone!  My current one is an old iPhone 7!  It does what I want it to so that's all that matters.

    That is a considerable saving, I would recommend putting some of that savings aside to pay for your next phone preventing the need to get a contract.

    We are on asite today to deal with the tanks and will be glad to get back out and about tomorrow. We had forgotten how noisy campsites can be.

    Probably my fault for picking the main caravan and motorhome club site on the island. I should have known better really. 

    The facilities are lovely and the staff are lovely but this doesn't really hit the spot for us at all.



    We did have a nice visit to Sandown at dinnertime but it was a bit hot for walking the dog really.



    We had planned to have a bbq tonight but the weather has decided otherwise. Despite a forecast of wall to wall sunshine it has clouded over, the breeze has picked up and it has gone very cool. 

    Mixed grill instead I think tonight.

    It just looks idyllic - I’ve never been there…….there are so many places to explore around the UK. Enjoy 👍

  • Shame about the BBQ being cancelled but a mixed grill will hit the spot I'm sure... Great pics again, I'm very jealous!

    Beaches look stunning, safe travels and hope the weather stays as nice as it looks in your photos.

    Said to you on here before that your photos of your travels have made me want to see a little more of the UK, we have centre parcs with in-laws upcoming and I mentioned Suffolk would be nice a while back after some of your photos. Well my wife booked a summer stay in Aldeburgh whilst I was away, not camping but staying in a little cottage and taking our dog too.

    Nice to hear from you Alt.

    You will love Suffolk. It is beautiful. 

    Get yourselves to Mrs T's at Southwold for fish and chips. It isn't far from Aldeburgh. 

    Enjoy Centre Parcs.

    Keep calling in buddy 😀

    A lazy start to the day today it seems. The dog has let us have a lie in.

    Breakfast this morning is toasted sandwiches and dinner later is steak with chips, onion rings, garlic mushrooms and tomatoes.

    We will deal with the van tanks on the way out and then we are good for another couple of nights off sites.

    We are heading to the south of the island today.
