Isle of Wight - Colwell Bay, Fort Victoria and daffodils







We have segmented the Isle into 4 triangles and exploring a triangle at a time. Today was the turn of 9pm to midday. We started just 10 mins from the cottage at Colwell Bay. We walked/ was blown along the esplanade. Gosh it was windy and the sea was incredibly choppy. We walked around the headland to Totland Bay, over the landslide from 2012 which knocked the sea wall into the sea. Penny and Sailor are such children, they liked walking on the wall  while I walked alongside.

Back in the car and up to Fort Victoria for a more sheltered walk this time and a great veiw over to Southampton. We walked the nature trail, following the wooden sculptures and then back via the woodland trail which was rather soggy but had a fantastic view. On we drove north to Cowes where we saw a spectacular double rainbow, the brightest I've ever seen. Then on our way back, daffodils in a garden...in January.
