Today we decided to go to Osbourne House, home of Queen Victoria on the Isle of Wight, as it's just up the road from her house (literally about a mile). It was great, though no photos allowed inside - it was very, very Victorian inside though - crazy ornate. Strange contrast with the beautiful, calm, Italianate exterior. We had a little picnic on the beach at Osbourne House, watched a bit of Punch & Judy, then hopped a bus to Alum Bay/The Needles to have a look at the famous sands - amazing colours, right next to one another on the cliffs. Hard to photograph, really - much more striking in person. Here's a good photo taken from the water...
