brodie's birthday trip to the isle of wight

For Brodie's 4th birthday, we grabbed Granny, piled into Sparkly Princess Cinderella and headed over to 'The Island' for a couple of days.

We stopped off at Culver Down for lunch and had a stunning view across to the mainland, plus a very active airstrip in the valley below to entertain us while we ate ......

Then off to a model railway exhibition in Newport that we had been tipped off about .....
