Out for the day

We have just got back from Portsmouth, where we broke the back of the Christmas shopping. After my early morning blog, I did manage a few zzzzzzz and got up at 7.50 to a man ringing on the front door bell - it was only the man to read the meter - I ask you! Having got up and seen the potential of a lovely day as the sun came up we decided to cross the Solent and spend some money. The Ryde pier was packed with cars so we decided to catch the Hovercraft and started our shopping in Southsea. After visiting Debenhams and John Lewis we bussed into Portsmouth and spent the remainder of our time in Allders where they had a grand Sale. Caught the Hover at 3.45 and here we are. Had a good day.
