Remember my cupboard full of memories as mentioned in “Mugshot : Orange” ? Well here’s another mug, this time one we brought home from the Isle of Wight in the September of 2011.
COWES : Remember the “Cowes Regatta” with the pictures of yachts and cannons ?
SHANKLIN : And “Shanklin old Village” ? Our main base for the holiday, pretty thatched rooved cottages, and of course the “Night Lights” at Shanklin Chine on the way to the beach.
GODSHILL : A pretty cluster of cottages which, surprisingly, we didn’t actually visit.
RYDE : Where the ferry arrives too and from the mainland, and where we picked up two “Hitch-hikers” or their way to the Bestival music Festival.
THE NEEDLES : Where on a very blustery day I took a “photo” from the shelter of underneath the wooden platform built as a viewpoint because the actual platform was swaying too much to get a clean focus.
VENTNOR : Remember the “waves” crashing onto the rocks and rolling like white horses onto the sand ?
Oh and the coffee ? … Skinny de-caf latte made by yours truly, with just a splash of vanilla syrup. 🙂
More from before – Holidaying in the “Isle of Wight“, September 2011.
Love the mugs, Hallysann! You’re as dotty as me! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks … I think !
I like to choose my mug for my coffee, sometimes I look as if I’ve forgotten what I went for, but what I’m really doing is choosing where my coffee will take me as I drink it. 🙂
I’ve always wanted to go there, your mugs are pretty.
Thanks, the whole place is pretty … although a little strangled by the ferry prices I believe now.
Niagara Falls, where I’m originally from is like that now. The prices were reasonable thirty years ago but now they fleece the tourists for every penny! I always feel bad for them and tell them where the locals go to save money. 🙂
