| |  Hello from the Isle of Wight
Hi all, I found this site on Back garden moths, looks good. I'm interested in just about all aspects of British nature but I'm a jack of all trades master of none. Looking forward to posting some good images and some good discussion |

Looking forward to posting some good images and some good discussion | Hello Wightman and a warm welcome. You live in one of my most favourite parts of this world. Lucky you! Great memories of St Boniface Down and Ventnor.

Hello Wightman, Jack of all trades master of none.  I use to know the island very well, where about are you from? It use to be wonderful, has Blackgang Chine fallen into the sea yet, I use to be petrified walking over all those cracks, Browns golf course and the wonderful waves at Ventnor - oh happy days  . now I'm into wildlife and gardening. Im going off to reminis now.  Welcome to WAB. |

Hi Wightman,
A warm welcome to WAB, you'll fit in fine here there are a lot of us that are Jacks of all trades and masters of none, but we have tongues in our head or should I say keyboards to type on.
Carol.

Hello there Wightman
And a very warm welcome from me too.
I come from the IOW so this has been very nostalgic for me too!!
I also used to frequent Browns golf courses at Sandown every weekend without fail when I was little..and always used to look forward to the lovely frothy milkshakes and cream cakes at the end ( and then I always used to feel ill in the car on the way home and for hours afterwoods!!  ) Oh the memories!!
I loved Blackgang Chine too.....watching it all fall away as you looked on....it was fun at the time to spot a bit going (I was very young!).....but now it is quite horrifying and worrying to see how much has disappeared!! 
Robin Hill reminds me of school trips.......And Cowes week , well.......
Oh yes.....this is my welcome to you on the WAB isn't it ...not my childhood memoirs!!
Sorry about that!!
Anyway, I think you live in a wonderful part of Britain, so join in, get posting and let us see all what the IOW has to offer!!
Enjoy yourself.....I'm off to look at some photos  |
