On The Island

Ellie was in and out of the house through the night, bless her. Mal only took her across the field for a brief time in the morning and I gave her egg and rice , just a little for her breakfast.

It rained a lot but Ellie just slept most of the day.

We watched a good Hammers game in the evening…they won.  Mal slept downstairs again with Ellie. She didn’t want to go upstairs, she wanted to be near the garden, I am hoping she recovers from all this very soon.

Back to work day. Not very busy in the morning but much busier after lunch.

Ellie’s stomach was not good in the evening but she came up stairs with us. She then barked at 11.30. I always know with her (the cleanest dog I have ever known) that she wanted to go into the garden. As she had diarrhea , Mal volunteered to sleep downstairs with her, so that he could let her out.

Time to leave the caravan and we stopped at the Marsh country park for a coffee on our way. I have to say the coffees at £3.95 each were tasteless. We won’t be going there again!

An easy journey home after a really nice relaxing break and then time to water everything in the garden and allotment. I couldn’t believe the huge amount of tomatoes I had on my jungle of tomato plants. They really have gone mad this year.

A walk along the beach at Greatstone. It was almost empty as always.

Ellie just keeps walking and in the end we have to call her back as she forgets she has to cope with the return walk!

From there to Dungeness to the Snack Shack which has to be our favourite place for fish. I was really pleased as they had lobster on their menu, I even shared a bit with Ellie. Delicious.  It was so nice sitting on the beach there in the sun.

Back to the caravan and a very relaxing afternoon.

A nice relaxing morning and then a walk in Romney Warren Country Park .

Then on to The Warren Inn. They welcomed Ellie back with a treat. It is a nice friendly old type of pub and a good garden. Another place where Ellie is given a treat.

We were having a couple of days away at New Romney, so drove there and stopped at The Ship Hotel for lunch. A nice place with good food and they always make a fuss of Ellie.

Then on to the caravan, a different one of Julie’s. We book through AirBandB, cheaper, she doesn’t charge for a dog and the caravans always have everything you would need on a break away. Other places we have stayed we take a lot of “extras” with us , no need here. She even leaves tea bags and coffee! The other bonus is they are spotlessly clean. This one (Shingle Bay 10) is in a really good position, not on a road and it was very quiet. Ellie loved sitting outside watching the squirrels.

Later a nice relaxing walk.
