Martin and Debbie Kinally

SATURDAY
Well, they were really lazy today, very late getting up, so instead of breakfast, had brunch, boy I'm hot today, almost 30 degrees.
The bus restorers are in full force today and early afternoon come and warn us they're going to try and start the doubles decker parked next to us, it may be smoky they said. Martin started chatting to one of the men who offered to take him on a tour of the sheds, his little face lit up, he even got to sit in the drivers seat. Eventually, after a lot of tinkering with the engine, apparently one of the last buses to be made with a front engine, they got it started. Late afternoon, they walked into the village for a leg stretch and a pint of Ghost Ship. The pub had got a fun day with music and a BBQ a back to sit in some shade under me canopy.

SUNDAY
Today is moving day with a couple of stops planned on the way. First up is Upnor Castle, a National Heritage site on the banks of the Medway River. They parked me up and go for a walk to Lower Upnor alongside the river before taking the footpath to Upnor which really is one cobbled road with some beautiful little cottages and two pubs which leads to the castle. It's a little place and not quite such a ruin as they were expecting with rooms and towers with rickety spiral staircases for them, well Martin, to explore.
They retrace our way up the hill, stopping at one of the smallest pubs seen, that was until you walk inside and find a rabbit warren of rooms and a big pub garden.
The next stop is the Isle of Sheppy via the elevated bridge. Unfortunately, as it's by the coast and it's a lovely day , top end of the 20's, almost 30 degrees again, there's nowhere to park along the marine drive with camper vans and caravans there for the day, weekend or month by the look of them , so on to our next stop.
Two nights at Woodhill Campsite just outside Faversham, lovely site, but should be for the price he says, we will see......Читать далее
