  1. Amazon World Zoo on the Isle of Wight has announced the birth of twin #RedPanda cubs, born on June 17, 2025.

    The arrival of the cubs is a success for the zoo's breeding program, which paired 10-year-old female Xiao with 10-month-old male Flint, imported from Belfast Zoo.

  2. A quick trip out tonight to watch the postponed New Year's Eve fireworks at Sandown.
    At least the weather behaved this time 😊

  3. Toiletgate. Student loos at the Isle of Wight Bay Secondary school locked up

    Students at #Sandown’s The #BaySecondary returned to school earlier this month to find that floor-to-ceiling gates had been installed outside all #student #toilets, in a bid to combat vandalism and vaping.

  4. Sunset over #Sandown on the #IsleofWight a couple of evenings ago.
    A town popular with tourists and where I lived for 3 years as a teenager on my first stint of residing on the Island.
    We've printed up a panoramic shot for the shop window taken a minute or so earlier than this one.

  5. I'm enjoying my Tuesdays off throughout January. Lovely weather for a walk, even though it's freezing cold.

  6. We've had some mad waves around the Island this week. Thankfully things have calmed down now and the sun is out.

    This is #Sandown which is usually quite a sheltered bay. You can see the pier in the distance, I imagine the dodgems and the slide at the end were closed that day!

  7. Yesterday afternoon at #Sandown on the #IsleofWight

    The truly horrendous weather that has seen parts of the Island flood has also had moments of beauty.

    #CulverCliff is a hotspot for Autumn #rainbows

  8. The first bus ride on Saturday took me from East Cowes to Ryde. The second was to the beach at Sandown. Some big waves. I just managed to keep my feet dry. #sandown #IsleofWight

  9. This is #Sandown on the #IsleofWight It's a tourist hotspot and the beach is usually pretty crowded in the summer.

    This isn't the case during the winter and my husband had the beach to himself when he took this view. Well, except that I was there too 😄
    Despite my hashtag I've just remembered that it was a #sunrise !!

  10. It's been a very blustery day here on the #IsleofWight

    It's reminded me of a day a year or so ago when my husband took this shot at a bus stop in #Sandown

    The waves were slamming into the sea wall making for a dramatic sight. Surprisingly, despite how this image seems the water was a safe distance away from the bus stop. Nonetheless we remained over on the other side of the road!

  11. Tonight's #moonrise over #Sandown Bay on the #IsleofWight

    My husband took this a couple of hours ago. The #moon shining so bright that it was difficult to photograph.

    Sandown is very busy in the summer time with tourists but this evening there were very few people about. Probably because it was so chilly! #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #LandscapePhotography

  12. Last year I found some horrible, plastic advertising baubles.
    Today I turned half a bauble into a mask, inspired by the description of "All colours, Sam" or "The Sandown Clown" a fascinating, berry-eating alien-ghost-robot with wooden parts. I first heard of it in a podcast where @Wihtlore told the story.

    My mask is (losely) based on the description of Sam in #BUFORA magazine, rather than the drawing on the cover and inspired by Princess Mononoke's mask.
    It will evolve
