Thanks for posting this Kristie! It helps me visualize when I see your location! So you're SE off of London, right?

[Islandzoo]

Nope, we're South west of London - The Isle of Wight is as far south as you can go and London is about 70 Miles North East of Portsmouth - the nearest 'mainland' town to where I live.
:) In that link you can zoom right out to see where london and rest of UK is..

Kristie, I'll bet it's beautiful to see in person. Thank You, for sharing it, it makes it much easier to understand where you are. I like the zoom part too. Maybe, sometime you can share a few pics of your pretty landscape.

I brought this forward to share with some of the newer members.

The South Downs are not far from me, so thought I'd share them with you here, they really are beautiful and lovely for walks (in the summer) The dogs love walking here.

Thanks Peta. I have not been to the South Downs, but I have driven through them and I've been to Bognor and Brighton, and Hove.

Have you been to the Isle of Wight?

Have you been to the Isle of Wight?

Yes, I went quite a few years ago, have lived nearly all over the world, but had never been to Isle of Wight, so decided one day to go for a couple of days, we went to Yarmouth. It was really lovely
