28th Oct - Showers but not on us.
We are now in Hamble and decided to go to the Isle of Wight from Southampton via the car ferry which
takes 200 cars and "anything that can get under a motorway bridge".
It takes about an hour each way and it is reasonably priced so it's possible to take the car for just day trip.
Once there we visited Osborne house 'holiday home' of Queen Victoria. Yes I know I promised no more stately homes. I guess I lied!
Having seen the movie 'The young Victoria" a lot of it was filmed there - it seemed quite familiar and very interesting. After lunch in the restaurant (Leek and potato soup and my all time favourite individual treacle tarts and clotted cream!) we tried to go to the park at the Needles but ran out of time.
Despite the fairly gloomy day there were plenty of boats sailing on Southampton water.
