We went to the Viking Ship for Ellie’s short walk.

While we were there, we thought we may as well stay for a coffee. They are really nice people who run the cafe and their coffee is very good and good value.

Lunchtime we watched the friendly pre season Spurs v Newcastle . Very sad as it was Son’s last game playing for Spurs and he really did seem so upset.

It was a draw. Later we watched the Hammers game and they managed a win.

We took Ellie to the park in Ramsgate, lots of new sniffs, so keeps her mind active but she wanted to run with the other dogs but of course isn’t allowed off lead.

So another short walk. She does wonder why we don’t do the proper walk but she is still limping.  Bit by bit.

And this is why Dover should be avoided during the summer holidays……every holiday the same!!

Time DDC and the Highways Agency did something sensible about it. I avoid Dover like the plague.

A lazy day in the garden.

I went off to Wingham Wildlife as I hoped to see the new baby orangutan. I was one of the first to arrive, just as they let the chimpanzees out after being in all night. Well, they just went mad, screeching and jumping all over the place! It was so funny to see them.

I then went round to see the orangutans and it seems mum and baby are being kept out of view of the public. The others were sitting having breakfast.
