I was lucky enough to have my family with me in the Isle of Wight on our now annual Bridge holiday there. Five days from start to finish it requires some stamina but the atmosphere has been great and with sacrificing as one of the topics there has been plenty of fun.

The weather on the first three days was superb and most had a good mix of holiday and Bridge. Alfie had his first experience of the sea, with a toe dipped in – he did not bag an eyelid!

A great holiday but definitely tiring! My family are having Sunday afternoon off and we are eating and relaxing in Bembridge.
