Good Weather Tomorrow?

Are you really sure the weather is going to be good tomorrow?

Of course it is.... my source is very reliable!

Mr Red Squirrel contemplates the weather over a dish of nuts..

Sharker looks suspicious...he's heard it all before!

And Badger doesn't really care right now...

Hedgerow Running

Isle of Wight, England

On one small island there are remains of dinosaurs, evidence of prehistoric man, Roman ruins, places where Royalty have stayed and cute cottages in postcard villages. Everywhere!  The Motley’s hired a car and took a spin through narrow hedgerows admiring scenery from rolling green pastures to dramatic cliff faces.  And there was even the odd sail boat or three braving not quite summer conditions.  What a perfect start to the season.

Our host, Linda “I’ve heard  the weather is going to be better tomorrow”, ensured we were snug and well fed, met the locals (including Lovejoy) and kept up with gardening duties.  We learned of Uffa Fox (a famous sailor & yacht designer) and his connection to the cottage, had a personal tour through the nearby grand cottage orné, Puckaster House (1824, Listed Grade II) & it's beautiful grounds and ate cheese before pudding in typical British fashion…  

So what are the Motley’s recommendations for the IOW?
