Winter view from Eastern Lee

Winter view towards Yarmouth and the Solent, from the window of the bedroom with the 6ft bed at 'Eastern Lee'.
The view changes as the crops grow and the hedgerows 'green up'. It's always good to see the sea - even though 'Eastern Lee' is the furthest from Yarmouth, it has this view. Visitors who want to eat out in one of the restaurants or pubs in Yarmouth, have either walked the 2 miles or caught a bus. There is a late bus back or taxis from the quay where the ferry arrives in Yarmouth.

As the Island has amongst the lowest levels of light pollution in Britain, our houses here in the West Wight are great for star watching, so arriving back late in the evening has an extra benefit.
Come and admire the sky at night without sodium lights spoiling the view!

Time to fill in any cracks and bring decorations up to scratch at 'Eastern Lee' before people arrive for half term in February. With all the rain we need to check the gutters and drain pipes - and find out where the overflow runs to from the waterbutts. Great for watering the plants in summer, not needed at the moment.
