End of another lovely day weatherwise…….. sunshine all day so we decided to visit Broadstairs……. A lovely old-fashioned seaside town in good old British tradition and holding old childhood memories for me of trips here with Grandma and Grandad Carps!
Everyone was going mad on the beach, much to Justin’s amusement! He said he’d never seen a beach scene quite like it! It was total chaos! People getting sunburnt, kids splashing in the sea, surfoards, windsurfers, yachts, fish and chips, ice creams, funfair, amusement arcades, seagulls squawking when they found a chip packet, all mixed in with beautiful ancient buildings filled with Dickensian history………. A very pleasant little day out!
I should have taken a photo of the chaotic ‘Brits on the beach’ but forgot! I did, however, take a pic of the windfarm just off the coast – very surreal – hope it comes out in the photo…….

The moorhens keep visiting us at ‘the gutter’ and are very cute to watch….. they’ve all got little babies with them and seem to come up into the little garden for the birdseed perhaps….. got a lovely picture of one little baby with it’s parents……

We very nearly tried to get to the Hop Farm music festival not far from here….. great line-up…. 10CC, Bryan Ferry, The Eagles and The Human League…. Damn! We just couldn’t do it as we found out about it only the day before and couldn’t manage it! Maybe next time…..
Tomorrow (2nd July) we have a christening for Holly and Adam, Julie and Daemon’s twins, our new God Children! So we’ll be responsible for leading them in the right direction in life, together with Amelia, their older daughter, also our God-daughter…… hmmmm…… leading them in the right direction eh?! Well, something like that!!
We now have four God-children as we won’t forget Donald and Michelle’s daughter Jessica back in Zambia and we do hope that they’ll all get to visit us over here some time in the future!
For now we will enjoy the evening sun with our wine……………………….
