took the kids along the prom to the playground:
We did a fair amount of swimming, couldnt believe the Spithead water would be warm enough for it but there you go:
As the weather continued to be lovely, we had teas outside in the large garden:
Last Weekend we went to the Navy Days at Portsmouth. We were accidentally entertained by the Red Arrows aerobatic team as we returned from shopping on Friday. Sunday we tripped across by ferry to the Dockyard. There we were entertained by VIP security displays:
Saw Alan's old Aircraft Carrier:
Then went around the inside:
We watched the inter base field gun challenge:
Nicola was particularly impressed by a 100 year old boat:
And decided it might just fire!
Saw helicopter and boat displays:
Went over ships like the frigate Argyll:
Nicola discussed radar intensively with someone deep inside another frigate:
We looked at all sorts of nautical things:
Then there was the boat squadrons and helicpters boarding and dealing with drug runners or something:
Thenon the ferry to home:
Later we went to Chichester:
To the Cathedral:
Found my namesake outside:
And a great interior:
We took the kids to Stokes Bay a couple of times, once on a windy but warm day to the paddling pool:
wid sporty stuff:
We went to posh (but nice) peoples barbies and cooked the food!
We blackberried:
Made pies :
Andas a background event, even as I write, Pen and Nic return from another raid!!
Anyway, our time in Good old England draws to an end, This will be our last weekend as we fly out at 2100 on Sunday. We'll have a great time up to the end!!
