Year: 2019

We were up early, surprisingly the central heating came on in the caravan! So, we were out on the beach for a long walk with Ellie.

We then went into Romney and had lunch at Deblyns Tea Rooms. We sat in the garden with Ellie. They took our order and then brought Ellie water and dog biscuits out!

They do loose leaf tea in a pot, really nice and we both had a lovely lunch.

We then went for another lovely walk with Ellie along Greatstone Beach.

In the evening we had dinner at the Cinque Port Arms. We ate out in the garden.

By the time we were back at the caravan I think Ellie was exhausted.

We booked a caravan at Romney Marsh and so packed and headed that way. A very leisurely drive so we stopped for lunch at Hythe. We arrived at the caravan, unpacked and took Ellie to her favourite beach.

It is right opposite the caravan park, so ideal. In the evening we went to have dinner at The Warren, a really nice dog friendly pub. The customers were laughing at Ellie the way she lays spread- eagled on the floor!

We walked Ellie and then I took the car to be valeted after having all the filthy decking and bags of sand in it.

We watched the football in the afternoon. A draw for Spurs in the north London derby!

The sunflowers in the garden are now huge and one has eighteen flowers on it!

I collected Ollie, Oscar and Josie as Lou had an airport run. Mal took them to the allotment for more weeding, edging and picking. We had lunch and in the afternoon watched Man U lose and then went to the field with Ellie.

Lou came back just as I was doing tea so she joined the kids.

We had a lovely day.

Thought for the Day – “Grief never ends….but it changes. It’s a passage not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith. It’s the price of love.”

In the morning I went into Deal and went to the hairdressers. I hadn’t realised that the previous night ‘travellers’ had been in the town wrecking the place. All the pubs had closed down except one and that was wrecked. Last week they were doing the same in Margate!

Back home and Mal and I took some things to the allotment, a worn fold up garden seat. I have bought new ones and so one of the old ones will go in Mal’s shed for when I visit or for when he wants a sit down! Also the edging we bought for our garden, which wouldn’t sink into the ground as there appears to be solid brick in parts!!

We then had an unexpected visit from my sister, niece and family who were on their way back from Center Parcs in France. We sat and chatted and then they wanted fish and chips down by the Quay as we did last year when they were passing through.

Tariq and Rhys said they would be round early. There was a real hammering on the door and it was Tariq. An old lady had fallen off her bike and was laying in the middle of the road. Rhys was helping her and we brought her in for a drink and to recover a little. She thinks she caught her foot in the wheel. She stayed for a while and then went on her way. Tariq and Rhys continued with the paving.

Mal and I took some of the slabs back as we had too many and also bought some pebbles to decorate the edges.

Ellie inspecting it all. They did really well seeing as they had never done it before.

In the evening we watched the ladies football. Bad defending from England! After that we watched the “Secret Teacher”. It is nice to see there are still some good people in the world.

Tariq and Rhys came round to lay slabs in the garden. First the decking had to come up, mostly going rotten. Mal and I did two dump runs while Rhys and Tariq sorted the rest out. Wickes should have delivered everything at 9. Instead they turned up at 3 o’clock, so Mal and I went and bought some sharp sand and a few slabs for them to be going on with. Then it rained!
