Tris and Violet are in Margate this weekend, so we thought it would be a good idea to have Sunday lunch in the club house. We also asked Dominic and his new girlfriend to join us. Yesterday Mal went to the office to get the number you have to ring to book and the guy in there said it was fine to ring and book today. So, Mal did, today and their reply was we should have called yesterday, she didn’t say they were fully booked and Mal said if it was a matter of meat, two or three were vegetarian. She replied we have nothing for vegetarians and he was told to ring earlier next time. Well, we have always seen things in there for vegetarians and her attitude stank and so Mal replied “There won’t be a next time” and ended the call. Their loss not ours. We’ll go somewhere where they want our custom and when the clubhouse is really quiet in the winter months, we won’t be going in!!
We collected Tris and Violet from Broadstairs and went to Margate sea front sands where Violet wanted to go swimming in the sea. We managed to persuade her not to! We then went to The Mechanical Elephant and met up with Dom and Gemma and had some very average lunch but then most places were booked.
We then took Violet and Tris back to the caravan because Violet still wanted to go swimming. Just as we were walking to the indoor pool we saw Darren (the owners son) who said they were doing a back wash so the pool was closed. Erm, no it is open until 5.00pm! Having been let down by not having lunch at the site, I think Darren took one look at Mal’s face and opened the pool up for us! Violet loved it. Goodness we don’t pay all this money to them not to be able to use the pool when it is advertised to be open!
Tris and Violet then caught the train back home to London. Gemma and Dom had told us about a folk club held in Broadstairs the last Sunday of the month, which of course today was. It is in the Albion Bookshop, yes, actually in the bookshop but they bring in barrels of real ale and very strong cider, the rest is free. Being old folky fans, we decided to go along. Strange venue and strange time. It started at 5.00pm and ended at 9.30! Anyway, we decided to go and met up with Gemma and Dom there and it was very good.
