Hayling Island Holiday with Mum - Day 7

 

Today started off, as usual, with a swim before heading over to Gun Wharf to meet Sheila for lunch and a wander.   Sheila sadly couldn't stay for the afternoon so Mum and I headed up Spinnaker Tower to look at the views.

After tea, I left Mum to do some packing - sadly we had to go home! - and I took Domino for a drive around the island, where I'd lived many years before, and we had a walk on the beach before heading back to Mum and the caravan.

I did feel quite sentimental about the time I'd spent down here, and the friends I'd made - and still keep in touch with today - Portsmouth and Hayling Island are very special to me.

Hayling Island Holiday with Mum - Day 6

 

Day 6 was another lazy day for us - we had our swim first thing in the morning, before heading out to Bognor Regis for a paddle and a mooch.  It was so incredibly hot that we parked the car in a very shady and cool multistorey car park and left Domino in there with water and the windows down, while we headed off into the heat for refreshments and shopping - there was a market in Bognor that day, so we bought ourselves some cooler clothing! 

Another lovely day.

Hayling Island Holiday with Mum - Day 5

 Day 5 of our holiday saw us having a fairly relaxing day - we started off in Chichester for a mooch but it was so hot that we called it a day pretty early.   Mum then very kindly said she'd have Domino while I went to visit my friend Kim in Portsmouth.  Kim and I hadn't seen each other for about 15 years, so we had a LOT to catch up on!    

Lovely day, lovely to meet up with friends and spend the day relaxing.
