A lovely day and so we decided to give the car a run and go to Folkestone. As we had Ellie with us, we stopped at Samphire Hoe on the way. No good trying to have a coffee, they didn’t open the coffee shop until 11 am.
We had a nice walk seeing lots of orchids, reminded us of Cyprus! We couldn’t go too far as Ellie was getting hot.
So, on to Folkestone. That was such a bad idea, we headed for the Harbour and the roads were jam packed and the car parks full. We turned around and headed back up the hill and there was even another massive queue that way. We were hoping to have a nice shellfish lunch. It really was bad idea on the first sunny Sunday!
We drove back to Deal, more civilised there and went along the beach and ended up sitting outside at The Royal Hotel and had our Sunday lunch and very nice it was too. But it was huge, so Mal and Ellie helped me out with mine.
In the evening we watched the Scotland game. A shame they are now out!
