At 8 o'clock in the morning it was almost impossible to see more than a few yards down the road, such was the thickness of the fog that was lapping the coastal areas of the Isle of Wight. However within an hour or so, and just a couple of miles inland, the sun burst through to give a virtually cloudless day with unbroken sunshine, warm, but with a refreshing sea-breeze, resulting in the best day of weather so far on our holiday. We drove over to East Cowes for a splendid day out at Osborne House, the former summer residence of Queen Victoria and her family. The foghorns continued to blast out out their warning until well after lunchtime, indicating that the sea-fog was still a persistent problem in the Solent.
