After a quality stay at Southland CMC site we headed for nearby Arreton for the only event taking place on the IOW this weekend - The Sweetcorn Festival. Basically a big village fete in a sweetcorn field beside a craft centre. I had a massive BBQ sweetcorn and put a £1 bet on the snail race, mine came last out of 6! Lots of pet animals and sweetcorn themed events. Rosemary bought a few bits at the farm shop for later and we left the car park, on a sweet corn field of course, early afternoon. The only IOW Waitrose is right by the Red Funnel terminal and so we popped in for our free coffee and some snacks. We parked on the esplanade to eat our late lunch and watch the yachts in the Solent until the 4:30 ferry back to the mainland was ready for boarding.
We enjoyed our brief stay on the island and now we are at a Britstop again tonite on the edge of the New Forest near Hythe.
