What a windy day. Marion and I took Ellie down to Botany Bay.

We then decided that we would spend the day in Broadstairs. We took Ellie home and then I had a delivery of a bouquet of flowers which Mal had sent, that was really nice of him.

We parked the car in Broadstairs, started to walk down the High Street and the heavens opened, hail as well as rain. We had to shelter in a shop doorway. It eased off but it was hardly the day for a stroll along the beach, so we decided to go and have lunch at Samworth & Mee, a restaurant I have never been to but had been told it was worth a visit.. It is supposed to be open between 10 – 16.00. Well we arrived and the opening hours now say it is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Never mind there are plenty of other restaurants in Broadstairs but we then discovered Broadstairs has decided to close Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!!! So many restaurants not bothering to open the beginning of the week. I guess a seaside town in winter, it is not worth them opening.

We gave up and drove into Margate and went to the more “upmarket” end and went into Mullins.  Mal and I keep meaning to go there but hadn’t. By this time it was really any port in a storm as the wind was battering us. There were only 2 other couples in there but we had really good food , nice Caribbean food, very tasty.
