We walked around Whitstable today. Natalie had brought a trail for the kids to follow, with questions and things to look for. The weather has been mostly cloudy and chilly but without much rain. There was a huge fire in the buildings in the harbour at the weekend, and we walked past it and saw the devastion.Read more

This morning lynette and I walked along the coast path to the next town, while Natalie and the kids did more of their trail, and this afternoon they went swimming at the pool in Herne Bay. The kids' swimming has come on so much since Christmas, finlay can now swim a length, and Emily a width. It's so pleasing to see.

This evening we all went to dinner in a pub/restaurant and the food was so good. The kids were great company (not always the case!) And finlay is a complete nut for seafood, such as king prawns, scallops and mussels, all of which are really excellent around here. Later in the evening there was a singer performing in the bar so they got to enjoy that too, along with a walk on the beach in the sunset collecting shells like oysters and mussels. Nice day!Read more

A gentle morning doing some more of the kids trail and spending some time on the beach hunting for shells. Lunch in the kiosks around the harbour- with another huge pile of mussels for finlay, who has also got a taste for scampi. I did try the oysters (it is whitstable after all) but I still can't say that I'm fussed. Finlay took one look and decided he didn't want to try them!

Planning a boat trip tomorrow.Read more

After a gentle walk up to the castle and a adventure playground we had lunch around the harbour (prawns again for finlay), we took a boat trip out to the ww2 forts off the coast and then to huge offshore windfarm . The forts were built to provide AA gun platforms to give some protection to the Thames estuary from German bombers going into London docklands. Afterwards some time on the beach and later dinner in a really good tapas bar at the end of our street.Read more

Lynette and i had a quiet day in mostly, me with crosswords and lynette watching tennis on TV. Natalie took the kids out shopping and bought a hat for finlay and then some new books. There is an excellent bookshop here and after looking around a bit, Natalie found the kids settled into a comfy corner and engrossed. There is a hut on the beach that has crab sandwiches that lynette wanted to try so we all met up there for lunch. We got ours but soon after they ran out of food - it's been completely packed and seething here today, with huge queues everywhere. Finlay wasn't too taken with the crab, or with my squid, so we've found some seafood he isn't fussed about.Read more
