Bit of a Groundhog Day as we went back to Walmer Castle. Bit worried about driving through Dover on a weekend in August but not too bad.
So some further views of the castle.
Gazing at the sea mist (warmer than it looks again), plus added a bit of holiday colour.
And Dungeness. Last time we were here it was just beginning to thunder, so very atmospheric. Less so today.
But before we start, a beautiful morning in Romney Marsh.
As everyone knows, there is a difference between livestock in the North and the South. You will recall the cows were very friendly in Northumberland and the sheep were timid. Here the cows are largely indifferent to my presence, but the sheep are very curious…..
Hi there!
Rye Harbour:
Winchelsea :
Quite a lot warmer than might be assumed from the photos. And Dungeness nuclear power station in the distance.
Rye:
A bit of a lazy day, although we saw much more of the sun than we had been led to expect. So headed around the coast, through Dover (which probably wouldn’t be a good idea tomorrow – first Saturday in August, we expect Dover to be a bit busy).
Kingstown, Walmer and Deal sort of blend into each other, but it is a gorgeous coastline.
View from lunch.
I’ve noted a bit of a theme. No pics of the food (not worth it) but plenty of views.
On the way back had a tiny detour.
Very unassuming from the outside and we didn’t know much about it. But well worth it.
Had to have tea and cake, of course. View from the cafe.
Finished off with a final walk along the beach.
And lucky we packed the deckchairs …
A few days, again last minute, in the UK. This time Romney Marsh until Monday.
So many choices of places to stop on the way, so plumped for Sissinghurst.
Spot Eileen in one of the photos.
Checked back, and the last time we were in Sissinghurst was referendum day. Doesn’t take much to remind you of how depressing that is!
Dinner out.
View better than the food, but at least we found a new friend!
