The Minis take a long walk

Yesterday we went for another walk with the Minis.  We walked from home, along the seafront to Seaview and on towards the village of St Helen's.  Between Seaview and St Helen's the Minis were excited to see these sheep.  They were really keen on them so a lot of pictures were taken.  They were friendly and quite rare.

As you can see they were friendly and quite interesting and had lambs!!  We carried on and the Minis came to Bembridge Mill.

We walked on and the Minis admired the views over the valley, from all directions.

The island grows garlic and the Minis were fascinated to come across some wild garlic, in the woods.

When we came out of the woods the Minis admired the river, the East Yar, they looked in both directions, but the ducks were not playing.

We still had a bit further to walk, they admired the view of the valley and met some cows.

We got to Brading, where the Minis were amazed to see the Old Rectory, which was built in 1228.  It was a residence for centuries, then a wax works, briefly a cafe and now somebody is selling antiques there.

The church is just across the road.  It doesn't look quite as old as the rectory, so maybe there was an older church there.

We had walked about nine miles, along the coast and then across country, so we got the bus home from Brading.
