Backtracking: The Isle of Wight

A couple of weeks ago Oliver and I went to stay with my family while they were off school for halfterm. It was the first week of Ben's exams and we thought we'd better go away so we didn't distract him from work, and to make sure he got enough sleep!

Tom (my brother-in-law)'s Mum has links with an Isle of Wight parish, so we amazingly got to stay in a gorgeous 6-bedroom Presbytery in the centre of Newport, surrounded by a beautiful walled garden, complete with a church! It was all absolutely beautiful.

Here are some photographic highlights:

My brother Isaac lost his first tooth

We found a scrummy full English breakfast brunch for only £2 something

Really beautiful little villages

Oliver decked out for a day at the beach!

At 'The Cod Father' ("We'll batter anything!") Battered Mars bar was surprisingly yummy.

The house was a real highlight. O and I had the top left wing.

Everyone! (minus Ed and Ben, who were revising hard at home)
