On The Island

Another trip to the dentist for my new dentures .I now have them but they are so tight. I will now have to try and get used to them. She made my mouth bleed trying to get the top ones out. This is all going to be a challenge.

Next on to Asda Optician as one of Mal’s lenses had scratched. They were so apologetic and made him a new pair which they will guarantee for 2 years. No arguments, just apologies. Excellent customer service. He failed to tell them he had been crawling around the bushes at the allotment! BUT they were supposed to be scratch resistant.

Showers during the night but we managed a quick dry walk.

At least my courgettes in pots in the garden haven’t been beaten down too much by the rain.

 

Not so sunny so we took Ellie to St Mildred’s Bay as we know there are slopes on to the beach and wouldn’t have to carry her up the steps!  There were masses of winkles on the rocks.

A lot of rain in the afternoon so we caught up on Springwatch and watched some of the birds live in their nests and even eggs hatching.

In the evening we went to the Marlowe Theatre to see Jools Holland. We go every time he is on there and it is always such a good night, by the end of which we are all up and dancing to his Boogie Woogie!

As always we had middle seats in the second row.

So good!

 

A lovely walk around Kearsney and we managed to avoid the rain! There are a lot of ducklings and young moorhen at the moment.

Of course Ellie had to go in the stream.

Mal went to the allotment, more broad beans, peas and so many strawberries.

In the evening we caught up with Springwatch. I love that programme.

A work day and we were really busy.

Knees Wood for our walk, nice and cool and then of course the Captains Cafe for a coffee.

A slight diversion on the way home – Home Bargains, to buy some more summer plants!

Tris came round for lunch and stayed until evening. It was lovely to see him.

We watched the second half of Soccer Aid.

Another early morning Ramsgate park walk mainly because there is so much shade there for Ellie. Home Bargains on the way home as they had some amazing hanging baskets a fraction of the garden centre price. Lucky to have seen them as usually, as soon as they get a new wave of plants in, they are gone, so popular!

While we sat and had lunch outside our blackbird came to join us. I am certain he has a problem with one of his legs but apart from that he seems OK.

An evening sitting in the garden but we did watch the penalties when Arsenal lost!
