We took Ellie for a long long walk down to the river, she loves the water, cold or not, she doesn’t mind.

We worked up an appetite and then went to have lunch at Chom Chom in Canterbury. Their Thai red curry is so good. We then had a wander around the shops.

My sister was coming to stay for a few days and so after taking Ellie we went to Canterbury to collect her from the train. As we were in Canterbury we decided to have lunch at Ambrette. I have one of their Privilege cards and so they are always doing offers. February’s offer for lunch is 3 courses for £9.95. They also give everyone an amuse bouche . Plus a hot drink is included. Marion was absolutely amazed at the quality of their food. It is rather special. We had to laugh because the waiter brought us one amuse bouche each and when we finished that he said  “Oh have another” and brought us another plate each. That waiter knows us quite well , so we ended up having FIVE courses!! The food is so delicious but we were all so full.

A day at Demelza, it was a drizzly damp day. In the morning Heather and I cleared up the bridal department as it looked like a bus smash! They were busy on Saturday and no one had a chance to straighten it. In the afternoon Fran and I dressed one of the windows, for male fashion. Not bad as it is the first time we have ever done it.  

It seems there was a bad accident in Littlebourne and the road had been shut all afternoon which meant my bus home made an enormous diversion as the whole village was cut off. 

Mal had dinner ready when I arrived home.

We watched the Man City game. Well done Wigan!!

Another day when the sun was out and far too nice to stay in. We took Ellie to Minnis Bay, certainly a dog’s delight down there and so good for socialising them….not that Ellie needs any, she is very sociable, not only with the other dogs but the owners too. She can sniff their treats out for miles!

In the afternoon I cleaned all the car out and Mal washed it. So many dog hairs, mud and sand! 

Later we watched the football and in spite of being a Spurs supporter I did feel a little sorry for Rochdale who played well. THEN they scored the equaliser which Mal said was my fault because I said I felt sorry for them!!  At least they will now be able to plat at Wembley.

We took Ellie out and how nice to see the first of the Spring lambs.

In the next field, not so exciting. One of the horses had knocked down the wire fence and caught three hooves in the gaps in the fence. Goodness knows how long he had been stuck there. We managed to get his back hoof out of the tangle which made him want to go forwards rather than back. What a job we had  and finally freed him and tried to put the fence back up with a temporary piece of wood to hopefully hold the fence.  We have no idea whose horses they are but a guy walked past and said his wife might know. Whoever it is I hope they fix the fence. Poor horse.

It was such a nice day and so time to go to Howletts. It was a good day to go as most of the animals were out sunning themselves.

My favourite is this gorgeous tiger, Arina.

It was another lovely morning and so the four of us took Ellie for a long walk along the river.


As soon as we arrived back we had to drive them into Canterbury to catch the train back to London. 

After lunch I went into Margate and met up with the Red Hatter girls to go and see the Police Panto at Theatre Royal,

They perform every year for a couple of days and all the money goes to charity. This year it was Cinderella It’s always very funny and we always get a mention in the show and the ugly sisters came to chat to us in the interval.

Mal had dinner ready when I arrived home. He is good.

Tristan was in the area and we arranged to meet him in Broadstairs and so took Ellie to Stone Bay, planning to pick him and Violet up on the way back.  It was such a lovely day and really quite warm.

As usual, mixed messages and we wasted most of the morning going places he wasn’t, in an attempt to give them a lift! Too confusing to bother with on here. We eventually met him in Sturry and then went and had a very late lunch at The Punch Tavern! The weather was so nice we even sat in the garden afterwards while Violet had a play on possibly the worst climbing frame we had ever come across!
