Sandown Illuminated Carnival

Last night Andrew, Gemma, Elena & me walked into Sandown to watch the illuminated carnival at 9pm. All Isle of Wight Carnivals take place midweek because the main industry here is tourism. In the summer months the majority of people start & end their holiday on a Saturday so it makes sense for occasions like this to be midweek. It's going dark now by 8:30pm but at least last night was dry and relatively warm although we did wear coats :O) These are a few photos of the parade ... Not sure if it's my photography skills or whether the camera can't handle movement in the dark?? Although I like the effect of the pirate boat :O)

Today Elena & I didn't do much. We were going to walk to Shanklin to have a game of crazy golf but the weather kept threatening rain so we stayed around the house instead. Elena wanted to make lunch and this is what she made ... It tasted delicious :O)
