I haven’t been to the Isle of Wight since I was a kid!
“I haven’t been to the Isle of Wight since I was a kid”
A phrase I hear constantly.
When I rediscovered the Isle of Wight a few years back, it’s what I said. I had not been to the Island since I was a kid. Now I had my own kid and the memories I have of holidays here are being replayed through her eyes.
Colourful sands, Blackgang Chine, huge amounts of ice cream and the simple pleasures of a stretch of beach, a few pebbles and a fishing net.
I have a plan, its called the Summer Road Trip 2017. Myself and my daughter are off to the Isle of Wight for a large chunk of the summer holidays (and the husband may visit us occasionally too). We are staying in cottages, apartments, cabins and a yurt.
As we travel on our adventures, I will keep you posted... good and bad. Watch this space for reviews, recommendations and top tips to survive a month with a 5 year old, only occasionally having the use of a washing machine. Wish me luck......
