Corsaire31 419 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 A short stop at Bembridge today to pick up some luggage on the way back from Bristol to Guernsey. Started with low clouds, crossed a dark low front around Salisbury. It started to clear up over Southampton and it was nice between Wight and Guernsey. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Nice one again Loic. It's always bright on the Isle of Wight, in fact The IoW, Eastbourne and Hastings share the record for the most UK sunshine. Wonder if your cargo was garlic, there's a garlic farm near Sandown growing almost every variety there is. YUM! Link to post Share on other sites

When you load luggage for the Channel Islands, it's more often banknotes than garlic ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if your cargo was garlic, there's a garlic farm near Sandown growing almost every variety there is. YUM! Monday was my 30th wedding anniversary. Both of us took the day off, and on a whim the wife and I went to the I.O.W. for the day. We visited the garlic farm and enjoyed it very much. The story that they tell there is that in 1942, pilots flying Lysanders on covert missions to France bought back a sack of garlic from which the farm started. This weekend (16th - 17th August) is the islands Garlic festival. - I missed it by a week. Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps for your 60th anniversary you could go for a week. Didn't know the story of how the garlic farm started. Link to post Share on other sites
