Year: 2019

Paula and I went to the garden centre in the morning as I needed some more compost. Most things there are much more expensive than Westwood.

In the afternoon we went to Minnis Bay as the sun was out and it was lovely and warm. Ellie came too and then we sat at The Minnis and had a drink when we ended our walk.

Paula came with me into Canterbury and went around the Cathedral while I was working at Demelza. She spent a lot of the morning there and was really cold! I met her lunchtime in Spoons. She then went home as she was cold.

In the afternoon Fran and I tidied all the wedding dresses, that was really hard work as they are so heavy and we had to put them back in sizes.

We have one dress we are selling that still has the label on, never been worn and it was £11,000!! Crazy.

I caught the bus home and when I got off in Wingham, I stood in the bus shelter for 20 minutes as the rain was torrential and the high street had turned into a river, it was just flooding! I was drenched when I decided to make a run for the car. Well, they did warn us about flash floods. The roads were dreadful.

Mal had dinner ready for us when I arrived home.

Mal and I took Ellie out and then back home and Lou, Ollie, Oscar and Josie came round so that we could all spend the day at’ Le Weekend’.  No rain today! We listened to music, went all round the stalls and the re enactment, had hot dogs and then ended up in The Crispin for drinks.

Mal and I walked Ellie and they were setting up the stalls all around Sandwich for Le Weekend.

Sadly it rained a lot and we had to take refuge in a pub! When it stopped we walked around the stalls and then discovered that the main stage was packing up as they were soaked. Hopefully a better day weatherwise for Sunday.

We walked to the Quay where there were a lot of tents/music/re enactments and beer!  We spent the next four hours sitting in there and chatting to everyone. I was drinking mead wine. I think the three of us had a considerable amount to drink. At one stage Paula lent back and fell off completely. Six men dashed to pick her up….. a little too much to drink I guess!

When it was time to go home we decided to buy fish and chips by the Quay. Then Paula was misbehaving at the level crossing!

Mal and I walked Ellie and then Paula and I went into Margate as she wanted to go to the Turner Centre. I did warn her that I have yet to go to a good exhibition there. Today was no different.  It was an exhibition of seaside photos.  Only one was from Margate! Several people we chatted to said they “didn’t get it” either, photos of old cookers and all sorts of rubbish. But Paula did enjoy the mirrors at the beginning!

When we had enough, we went to the Cupcake Cafe for tea and then a wander around Margate.

Thought for the Day – “Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get caught up in what you can’t control. Focus on the positive.”

Paula wanted to go shopping and remembered a shoe shop she had been too previously in Ramsgate. So we went off to Ramsgate. She bought 3 pairs of shoes and then wanted a handbag and so from there I drove to Westwood. Oh my goodness does she take a long time to decide!!

This “trying” the bags in TKMaxx lasted over an hour!

I looked for a new leather one too but there were no light colours. At least Paula decided on one and also a leather purse. I was getting hungry and thirsty then and so we went and had lunch in the Hooden Horse. Back to a few more shops, where she bought more things. By the time we arrived home, having been out for 8 hours, I was exhausted!!

So nice that the rain has stopped but we shouldn’t complain as it is good for the garden and saves me watering.

A nice walk with Ellie.

At lunchtime I went to the station as my friend Paula has come to visit.  We had a lot of catching up to do!
