Island life

8 December 2013

We are so lucky to live a few minutes walk from this woods. We visited it recently to find some nice twigs and pine cones for our Yule decorations.





this was the only pine cone we found, but luckily one of our neighbours had a ton of them in his garden, so we stocked up there instead. Anyways, the woods are amazing and the trees are vast.

We've also had nice walks on the beach, our little'un absolutely loves it and she runs about in her wellies.



We have eaten the most amazing huge duck eggs.


and we've been to buy our Yule tree, which was grown here on the Isle of Wight.

it is difficult to keep hold of the nipper in exciting places such as this.


not usre if this is the one we went for but it is very similar.

we should have bought our van me thinks.


This pic reminds me of that first scene in 2001: Space Odyssey.


a certain somebody is always happy when she is free to roam about by herself without any pesky parents saying 'no' all the time.

For some reason we seem to get a beautiful sunset every night here on the Island.
