Memories of Isle of Wight
Beautiful Memories Made Here
Husband and I visiting from Battle Creek, MI USA. Cousin and wife living in Niton and took us all over the Isle. I took a picture in front of the 2 cottages with the church behind them. Your picture of the same site brings back great memories.
Visiting The Buddle Inn
Have a cousin who took my husband and I to the Buddle Inn when we visited in 2005. Howard family ate there many times. When we visited again in 2006, cousin Bob had moved to Niton. He probably lives only a mile from the inn. Of course, we went there again and I just sat there, thinking of my relatives being there. I have a lovely picture of the inn to go with my memories.

Grandmother's Abode
At the bottom of the hill on the right I believe that tall building belonged to the local bakers. The low building next to it - this side of the bakers - is a thatched cottage where my grandmother lived. My mother grew up here. The cottage housed around 3/4 families but it has now been made into one home. Over the years the thatched cottage has also been a restaurant. I visited my grandparents many times at this cottage.
Ventnor
I was born in Ventnor and although I have lived in Kent for many years Ventnor will always be "My home".
