Herdwicks
Image
A good few years back now, we holidayed in Ambleside in the Lake District. They had taken up the charming trend of the Teens, decorated animal statues - in this case, Herdwick sheep, characteristic of the Lake District. You know... Continue reading

...I went to the Peak District. Because I grew up in South Manchester and attended University in Nottingham, I have a long-standing familiarity with the area - numerous day trips from school and with the parents - but had never... Continue reading

Folkestone East Cliff
Image
A warm and bright February Saturday, and it would have been criminal to stay indoors waiting for Spring. So, we went to Folke- stone. So many people out, all along the coast, obviously with this same thought! We parked up... Continue reading

Groom's Cottage
Image
Another home-from-home in-between selling-and-buying. I've never stayed anywhere like this, nowhere so remote. A village of only 500 or so people, the cottage near the end of a long, narrow road, with just a few villas & homesteads, a vineyard,... Continue reading

September food
Image
My favourite photos I took of food throughout September. I also had meals without my camera or where the lighting, or my incompetence, let me down. Often when alcohol came in copious amounts. Tian of Crab in Hythe Bay Seafood.... Continue reading

Afternoon tea at Hythe Imperial
Image
My sister gave me a voucher for my birthday: so J and I went one gloriously sunny Saturday afternoon. It was a very nice afternoon tea; afterwards my camera and I had a little nosey around the hotel. The grounds... Continue reading

Quince Tree Cottage
Image
Probably the nicest holiday let I have stayed in. I thought it was beautiful indoors, both in terms of refurbishment and modernisation, and in regard to décor and equipment. Its main disadvantage was being a long steep walk up from... Continue reading

View from Lympne churchyard
Image
Lympne is built on the site of the Roman fort and port Portus Lemanis, on the Saxon Shore. In subsequent centuries the lagoon below has become Romney Marsh. After brunch at The Bistro at Lympne Castle, we wandered the churchyard... Continue reading

Cherry Clafoutis

First in an occasional series of randomly selecting a recipe from just a handful of books with the intention mainly being to blog them. The deal is: no tedious peregrinations around the minutiae of my quotidian existence. No made up... Continue reading

Sandgate Sunset
Image
A trip into Folkestone for admin and non-exciting shopping. It was a particularly pleasant day, especially for January. Great to see so many people out and about. We ate at Market Square. If I lived or worked in Folkestone, I'd... Continue reading

St Thomas Becket Church Fairfield
Image
We have no shortage of churches on the Romney Marshes. Working churches, ruined churches, churches with barely a marker as to where they are, churches converted into yuppie flats, and then the other ones, churches such as St Thomas Becket... Continue reading

Dover Transport Museum

When you're staying in a holiday let in the country in the middle of nowhere in the District of Dover, and it's pouring with rain and gloomily dark at midday in September, what do you do? You head for the... Continue reading

Christmas at the City of London
Image
Last autumn we booked both Christmas Lunch and New Year's Eve dinner at the same place, The City of London, just across the road from home. Two very good menus; the New Year one was as good as anything I'd... Continue reading

Alice and the Hatter, Canterbury
Image
After our visit to Canterbury Cathedral we went off for tea nearby - and found ourselves in Alice and the Hatter. A decent sandwich and a nice cup within striking distance of the cathedral. But I generally don't blog about... Continue reading

Walk behind Dymchurch
Image
Another go at Government Sanctioned exercise. We took to the fields. Romantically, I would say 'behind our house' but that's not really true. We walked behind the Parish Church, across the railway line and followed the well-signed footpath until the... Continue reading

Littlestone Lockdown

A few days ago I did my Government Enforced Compulsory Bike Ride*. A nice gentle pedal along the seawall from Dymchurch to Littlestone, looking out at the Strait of Dover. I don't know if there is a term for the... Continue reading

Government Sanctioned Walk
Image
On Sunday I went for my statutory walk, along the beach, from opposite the Methodist Chapel to the slipway at High Knocke. As an aside, this feels strange. I haven't properly blogged in ages, and it's like I'm starting the... Continue reading

Canterbury Cathedral

I needed to print some important documents but my own printer was irretrievable from a self storage unit. The nearest place I could get the printing done was in Canterbury. I thought it would be quite weird to go to... Continue reading
