We went to Broadstairs for the “Feastival.” Black clouds hovered but it didn’t rain all day but it was very humid.  There were loads of happy holidaymakers on the beach.

After having a good walk round we decided to have our lunch at the Mermaid. A lovely Turkish couple own it and they fry the most delicious skate, which I love! It didn’t disappoint and we had a nice chat to the lady owner.

In the evening we did a catch up on Celebrity Masterchef.

We managed a dry walk with the two doggies. Roddy does like a run around the cricket pitch and making friends with new dogs. Then it rained!

I heard from Lou and Rhys and they have all gone crabbing today. I have a feeling their weather wasn’t quite as good as it was yesterday.

After Ellie and Roddy’s walk, I went into Deal, just for a wander around the shops.

Mal went to the allotment, so many vegetables again, including some lovely broccoli.

Mal and I both walked the dogs early. Roddy has settled well and knew he’d get his breakfast as soon as we were home. I then went to Westwood. I bought a lot of bulbs for the allotment and the garden. I also bought a basket to put at the front of the house, for more flowers.

Mal went to the allotment and it rained but he did manage to sort some things in one of the sheds, tying up the onions.

We took Ellie along Rope Walk where she met up with her puppy retriever friend. Later we took he over to Goodnestone park. She had a really good time rolling in the cut grass/hay!

We decided to have a drink at The Fitz and then stopped in their garden for lunch. Sadly their roast beef wasn’t brilliant, a bit tough but Ellie enjoyed it!

Back home to watch Hammers, a good game and result! Then Spurs beat the Champions! Yay!!  Looks as though Nuno will be good for them.

Lou and Josie came round in the afternoon to bring Roddy for his holiday while they go on theirs! He soon settles, a walk, food and his basket and he is fine.

Thought for the Day – “I’m not interested in whether you have stood with the great. I’m interested if you have sat with the broken.”

A beautiful morning for a walk in the park with Ellie. She had a really good walk, met lots of dogs and just as we were leaving she ran to Alison’s Kiosk tables where someone was eating bacon and I had to drag her away as she was just sitting there looking at them! What a scrounger, often happens with street dogs!

We dropped Ellie off at home because of the heat and we went to the allotment. We have a glut of vegetables, so many beans which we love, some of the onions we have left drying.

Even the grapes are doing well.

We came home when it was too hot but at least Mal barrowed some more wood chips for me.
