We had a slower start to the day, being a Sunday. We are the only people staying at Kingsmede so we have the host, Chris', undivided attention. We chose to have brekkie at 8:30. There was cereals, juice, fresh fruit and local spreads. Chris cooked us all dipping eggs with soldiers.

We drove to the Garlic Farm as it promoted having squirrels. Well, no squirrels were found, but we still enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, wildflowers and tasting the various produce they make using the garlic. The Isle of Wight produces 1500 tonnes of garlic every year! They started producing garlic during the Second World War to use it in cooking for the health of the soldiers.

We drove to Sandown so that Aunty Jean could experience Sandown Pier. The three oldies went in and lost 10p in the penny arcade. Aunty Jean has the same souvenir as Merady from Brighton - the little plastic bowl to put your change into!

I had booked Sunday Roast at Taverner's Inn at Godshill so we drove inland to find Godshill. It turned out to be a cute little village with plenty for tourists. At the pub we enjoyed our Sunday roast of beef and Yorkshire pudding, having been careful to 'duck' our heads on the ceiling beams. The veggies came in an enamel dish on the side. It was delicious. We washed it down with another jug of Pimms!

After lunch we strolled around the shops. Mum bought a runner for her glass table. Aunty Jean bought some lavender. Dad did not buy some chocolate.
Back at the car we drove across to Porchfield to further investigate the Jacobs family. In Porchfield we found 'Brookdale House' that appears in Jacobs Ladder. It was the home of Henry Day, Elizabeth Day's father. There was a church that has been converted into a house now. A sign on it stated it was the Bible Christian Methodist Church, fitting perfectly into our family history story. The church was not built during the time of Isaac and Elizabeth, so we wonder whether there was another church on the site previously.

We drove on to find 'London Farm', the home of Henry Jacobs, Isaac's father. It is a beautiful farmhouse that has been added to over the years. The current owners live in Europe so we were shown around by the person who lives in the Grooms Quarters and is paid to keep an eye on the place. We didn't see inside the original farmhouse, but we walked around all of the buildings and gardens.
