Footprints around Faversham

Today, theym off to Faversham, but because we're in the middle of nowhere, it means using up some of the kids' inheritance on a taxi. As per normal, no Ubers about, so it's finding a local cab to pick em up. Surprisingly, that goes well, and there is only a short wait for the taxi, so far so good.
On arrival, they head straight towards the Quays, a footpath that runs alongside the river passing the Shepherds Neame brewery, one of the oldest breweries in the country. Unfortunately, the tide was out, so the boats were grounded in the mud, but it was a lovely location for one of the new build houses and converted barns.
After this, they walked down the Medieval road, full of timbered houses, lots with interesting plaques on them. Next, of course, they fancied a drink and couldn't do the brewery tour as it's not open Monday's. To be honest, not a lot is open in Favershamon Mondays, so Wetherspoons it is again. They wandered about a bit more but it's so very hot so decide to go back to the van, by this time it's about 4 o'clock, school chucking out time, do you think they can get a taxi, No, they tried every taxi company in Faversham and no one was available for at least an hour. So what to do now to kill an hour or so, they contemplated a meal but weren't hungry, the Nachos at Wetherspoons had filled em up, so decided to try out the Micro pub, Furlongs. A good choice of beer, but instead, opt for a Gin n Tonic and two halves of Cider.
Back outside in the still hot town, the search for a taxi again. Still no luck, Mart thinks they're all at home having their tea. In the end, a wait about half an hour before the driver who brought em could bring em home , a long day in hot conditions but on the whole Faversham is a nice place.Leggi altro
