Hi Jo
Never been to the IOW but looked at it across the bay,have some friends who have lived there for years,they chose there because of the sailing.

Glad you had a great time with your grandson,I bet it,s home for a rest now.I just love to hear about you planning your next holiday,I am sure it,s not too far away. Love Eve

Gill
How are you doing???

Have had you in my thoughts did you get to France for that holiday Eve

Hi Kevin

If you look in the carers section subject 100…[Read more]
