Isle Of Wight

So just before we entered the 2nd Covid-19 lockdown me and Nathalie managed to get another few days away from London. This time we spent a wonderful 5 days on the Isle Of Wight. I hadn't visited the island for about 25 years and I wasn't really expecting to see many trees. How wrong was I? We ended up spotting 16 trees, from juveniles to some old giants, which makes sense as the island was very popular during the reign of Victoria. So despite the weather being very wet and windy another great Covid-19 holiday was had by both of us. The trip across the Solent and back in the hovercraft was a real highlight!
