On The Island

A busy day at work again. I heard all the updates about Jack’s 5 week old poorly kitten he has taken on.

I received a really lovely card from Zoe and her family saying they are thinking of us with Torin’s birthday approaching. She really is such a kind and caring girl.

Knees Wood with Ellie and then she sat watching us having our coffee…

Argentina v Spain in the final. I am afraid we turned off at half time. That wasn’t football, just a lot of thugs.

A walk around the cricket pitch and along The Butts.

We then prepared for a visit from Sol, Milly and the two great grandchildren, moving all tempting things from their reach, some food and drink for littlies. Then at 11 Milly phoned to say they had taken longer travelling than they thought so will see us Tuesday instead!!! What can you say?!

We just spent the afternoon in the garden. Mal did water the allotment.

Well, a good game from England and we are third in the world cup!

Kearsney for our early morning walk. Ellie went into the stream, she struggled a bit to get out but still managed it.

So many babies amongst the “bird” population there.

We discovered why the seagulls are making so much noise at 4.15 in the morning. We know there isn’t a nest on our roof or our close neighbours but the mum was parading these along our roof this morning. Two young chicks who the mum obviously screeches at to make them walk around!

I am really going off seagulls! We also have them swooping down on us every time we go to the cemetery as the house next door has a nest on their roof.

I went to Westwood Cross as I haven’t been there for some time.  I did look round the clothes shops, totally uninspired. M&S even looked as though they had a lot of winter colours in already!

We walked Ellie around the cricket pitch in Sandwich, walking along The Butts.

Jack recommended a restaurant in Broadstairs, The Jetty. We keep saying we are going to try it and never get round t it. So today we went and it really was good food. I had the tuna, very tasty. It is in a prime position, almost surrounded by sea. The staff were lovely too.

Well worth going.

We didn’t have a dessert as they all seemed quite heavy/sickly but as we were walking along the sea front back to the car, I decided to have a Kelly’s Ice cream to help my mouth as it is full of ulcers again! So, we just bought two and within seconds a seagull swooped and grabbed mine out of my hand. I had forgotten how brutal Broadstairs seagulls are!

Then of course in the evening we watched the England v Argentina game. Oh dear. I wonder why we had 6 in defence??!

 

King George VI park and it was so breezy by the sea that Mal said he should have brought his fleece with him!

In the evening we watched France v Spain and sadly France lost.
