  • The Vikings Tale

    16 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We drove for hours, now we have seen
    The church of Saintly Augustine

    And in the shop they try to shift
    A plethora of Royal gift

    Once more upon the motorway
    To reach the sea at Pegwell Bay
    Where we will stay.
    Hooray.

  • The Hikers Tale

    17 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    We walked for miles, saw seas 'n' skies 'n'
    Someone stole the damn horizon...

    On reflection I suppose
    Even Chaucer wrote some prose

    We walked up hill and up dale (?) into Ramsgate, which seems frustratingly seedy - plenty of opportunity to eg apply a coat of paint, but they hadn't. Also, it's being turned onto an expensive retirement village, many seafront businesses demolished to allow seaview flats to be built. A pity.

    Then walked back, uphill all the way (?) and drove to Margate and Broadstairs, which were much more fun!

  • The Oyster Catchers Tale

    18 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    And so, beset by gull and gannet
    We have a day in coastal Thanet

    In Whitstable where it is known
    Their song's "You'll Never Whelk Alone"

    And some hours later in the day
    We ended up in Nice Herne Bay

  • The Returnees' Tale

    20 Mei 2022, England ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    We came back via Ightham Mote
    A country house of charming note
    Of all the sites the NT run
    We reckon this is number one!

    And now, at home, this son of Ron's
    Has turned a super shade of bronze.
    Although my lovely wife does think
    It's more a livid shocking pink...
