 |
| On Sat morning we all met at Helen and Chris's for tea/cava and homemade cakes...the sun is shining |
|
|
 |
| "Aunty Hen" enjoying a joke |
|
|
|
|
 |
| She's very proud of her cakes! |
|
 |
| We're now in Ryde waiting for Ray (couldn't park her car) - heaving with people as there is a scooter convention on |
|
|
 |
| Hel would love this! |
|
|
|
|
 |
| We've arrived at the hotel in Shanklin - Laura gives Helen a photo album of the single life she will be leaving behind - while we waited over an hour to be booked in! |
|
|
|
 |
| Hel's the one with the halo antennae! |
|
 |
| Down to the beach |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Beautiful sea...still wonderful weather |
|
|
|
 |
| Mother Hen, Hen and Aunty Hen!!! |
|
 |
| Making footprints in the sand with our names on them |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Shame mine's the smallest! |
|
 |
| A really nice pub on the sand |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Hen dressed up for Sat night out |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Here comes the bubbly |
|
|
|
 |
| We all wrote some naughty or otherwise comments on H's T-shirt |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| The start of the Mr & Mrs quiz |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Her penalty for incorrect answers was Purple Rain (what a hardship - not!) - H loves Prince |
|
|
|
 |
| The old part of Shanklin - beautiful thatched cottages |
|
|
|
|
 |
| We visited an artist's studio at this beautiful house... |
|
|
 |
| ...and relaxed in the sunshine |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Next - to the Chine - very picturesque |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Shall we leave her there?? |
|
|
 |
| Having lunch and a well earned break - in the sunshine of course! |
|
 |
| Now to a "Dog Fair" at the Cricket Club... |
|
|
 |
| ...the dressing up parade |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| ...then a cream tea with a raffle |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Nice crocs, Jo! |
|
 |
| Hard luck! |
|
 |
| And back to the beach for a quick dip and sunbathe |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| And a high concentration game of bat and ball! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Ah! An angel |
|
 |
| Time for dinner...this guy fell in love in H's halo! |
|
 |
| And we all had "Slippery Nipples"!! |
|
|
|
 |
| And on to a nightclub |
|
 |
| Giving Hel a good "send off" |
|
|
 |
| Our final morning - time for a game of crazy golf |
|
|
|
 |
| Aunty Hen's footwear! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| That's it - all over. What a great weekend. Waiting for train back to Ryde |
|
