A ticket to Ryde.

Although we actually took the car ferry from Lymington to Yarmouth.
It was Ryde that we headed for.


"There was a young lady of Ryde, Whose shoe-strings I were seldom untied.
She purchased some clogs, and small spotted dogs, and frequently walked about Ryde.

Edward Lear.

 

It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot.
Queen Victoria.

 

As part of our visit was to put flowers on graves. I spotted this to my great amusement.

 

Stopped for lunch here.

 

My parents old house in Ryde.


She thinks of nothing but the Isle of Wight, and calls it The Island, as if there was no other island in the world.
Jane Austen.

 

We returned via Fishbourne to Portsmouth car ferry.

 

Reckon it's nice enough but it sure ain't Wyoming or Montana. Glad you're enjoyin' your travels ma'am

 

Thanks. It was mainly to put flowers on our parent's graves.
But a little reflection on past history also.

 

I think you are kind of fond of this beautiful island. I would be. Xx

 

I have so many memories there.
I should go through my old photos.
But, I may get too sad.

 

Is this one of the warmest parts of UK?

 

Yes, it is South.

 

I think I prefer this Ticket to Ride

 

Me too. Different spelling though. lol
