Country house weekend

Just returned from a super weekend on the Isle of Wight celebrating our friends 70th birthday. Stayed at Kingston Manor which was "faded" but grand and baronial.
And had several large meals with the large family who decorated the main dining room beautifully to sit 14 people and produced large meals between us all.
Visited Steephill cove, Ventnor and Bembridge by car
  but also got in a long walk across the downs (mostly to wear off the food!) when the sun came out for a while.


Bit of a trek home, especially the underground where there were far too many stairs for me when you have bags, but we were so glad to see our neighbour at the local railway station for the last few miles in the warmth of his car.

Oh dear. Feeling very flat today after so much fun and company.

  1. Its that time of year Trish, a lot of us feel a little flat. It's looks amazing and it's always great to catch up with family or friends. That part of the country is beautiful.
