    Gosh it’s really flown by. I find when you cook from scratch a lot meals out are often disappointing. Great location though and it’s nice to have a night off cooking. 

    Enjoy your last day. I’m sure it won’t be long until your next trip.
    We have one more night on the island and then another night back on the mainland.

    Your week away has gone so quickly.  Some amazing photos as usual.

    Where are you staying on the mainland tomorrow night before travelling home?

    Had a much quieter day today. Its been a bit hot for the dog.

    Had a mooch around Ryde this morning and then Quarr Abbey before heading to tonight's site a bit early.



    Change of plan for dinner tonight. Bbq instead. It's too hot for cooking in the van!

    It’s definitely been a very hot day. Not complaining though 😎

    We were treated to a lovely sunset last night for our last night here.



    We have no rush to get up this morning. Our ferry isn't while dinnertime and we don't have to get off site until 11am. 

    Lazy bacon sandwich breakfast and a walk on the promenade I think before we go and before it gets too hot.

    I  think we will be too late to visit the farm shop when we arrive at the site so that will probably be tomorrow's job.

    We had a fantastic last night. It really finished off the holiday.



    Back home today. It should take us a couple of hours to get home again.

    It might be a no spends day at last!

    Scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast and rotisserie pork on the bbq tonight for dinner.

    I suspect we will be having an early night tonight. We will be ready for one and back to work tomorrow.

    Looks like you have had a great holiday helped no doubt by the nice weather although hopefully not too hot for the dog. I have been walking my DDs border collie early morning and early evening as too hot down here. Great pics.
