Great photos! I spent (mainly unhappy) time in the IoW as a child - had an uncle who was something to do with Bembridge lifeboat. I would willing swap him for the startlingly pretty angel in photo 2.
ReplyDeleteIs that a flat-pack ship? I should very much like to weld one of those together. Which IKEA store stocks it?
ReplyDeleteAffer, Bembridge lifeboat station appears to have been demolished, although the gift shop remains!
ReplyDeleteAnd Alice, I'm sorry my dear, you'll have to keep your torch and rods packed away - the ship is special order home delivery only (made in Korea).
Great Post Nikos,
ReplyDeletelove the pictures and narration, it seems like a tranquil place where one can recharge one's batteries in peace...
Thanks Baron
