Seaview and Ryde IOW

There's always something nice about visiting different places, or in our case Re-visiting the Isle of Wight.  Needless to say we always head for a beach and this is Seaview, which faces north east and is near Ryde. 

Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a bit of information about the place:

and zooming in....

there were some large steels being removed

and how to you remove heavy steels....watch the orange digger. sorry it's only a short clip and through the wire which separated the pathway from the work.

Then on to Ryde.  Quite a hilly places, and a sit down was welcome.  It always pays to look Up....

check out the statues on the top of that building...

and the inevitable sketch...

For some reason I always think of the Beetles song 'Ticket to Ride' when we're in Ryde!  I remember years ago there used to be a Play on Words with the places on the Isle of Wight....

There were  postcards with it on but I couldn't find them this time - perhaps they no longer do them, but it was something like....

Ryde - Where you walk

Needles - You cannot thread

Cowes - You don't milk
