The children have arrived safely on the Isle of Wight. The weather is sunny and we have visited Dinosaur Isle this afternoon. We will be arriving at the hotel at about 5pm.
ReplyDeleteThe children's messages show everyone enjoyed fossil hunting, had fun on the beach and are happy with their room and the food at our hotel.
ReplyDeleteMost children were asleep by 11pm; a couple took a half hour or so longer to settle but everyone had an undisturbed night.
We've all now had breakfast and are getting ready to visit the birds of prey at the Owl and Falconry centre. This afternoon we're off to Amazon World and then after we've shared Aarya's birthday cake for tea we'll be ten pin bowling this evening.
