Old haunts and Isle of Wight

Spent the weekend on England's southern shore, first to see Mike's old neighborhoods and school on Hayling Island, then a stop at the Royal Navy Museum and on to the Isle of Wight.  On the way, homage to Jane Austen.  Another glorious, sunny weekend in the UK. 

Jane Austen's home for the last eight years of her life.  Her childhood home was torn down in 1820.

And a view of the village (Chawton)

On Hayling Island, near Mike's second home in the UK.
