Sunday 1 January 2017

Christmas is over and we are now in the New Year.  Perry has had a cough and cold for the last fortnight, so it has been a bit limited here.  Bertie and I have been out for a few walks, but we did manage a couple of outings to get a bit further from East Cowes.  One of them was Freshwater
Thatched Church.  Been here before, it is very lovely.  We did go to Fort Victoria as well, but the cafe wasn't open, even though we had managed a decent walk and felt we deserved a cup of tea and cake! After Freshwater village, we went round the corner to look at the sea.  It was just before sunset and there were still people and dogs on the beach.  Perfect.
Looking West into the sunset.

Hopefully, Perry will be better tomorrow and we can start proper messing around again.  In the meantime we have completed our passage plan for our forthcoming (hopefully) trip round Britain - gosh it's a long way! Now we are experimenting with trying to apply our planning to real data (i.e. weather!).  We have also now ordered our video camera to record the exciting event! Probably take us the whole journey just to learn how to use it! 

To whoever reads this besides Perry have a fantastic New Year and perhaps you will achieve all your planned 2017 dreams.  Take care.

Happy new year to you too. Did leave a comment just after Christmas but it did not work. I stayed in over new year, poorly Martin went out. Had a good birthday. Next week getting a 3 day London trip, from and with Clare. Going for afternoon tea at the ritz, seeing Wicked, breakfast at 2 different high rise places. Visiting St pails have a sushi meal and a lobster and steak meal. Not sure what else is happening, oh, we are visiting some museums. Getting home for a rest on Wednesday night.
