Today my thoughts go out to a very special friend who is not at all well, hoping she will be better soon.

We went to Sandwich and there was a really cold wind, another storm we are obviously on the edge of.

I heard from Torin and it seems his ex, Karen has given him an ear bashing about swinging Jack around over the sea yesterday. I put the picture on Facebook as he was having so much fun and he couldn’t stop laughing. As if Torin would put his kids in danger!!

Sadly my dear friend passed away this evening. A very short battle with cancer. May she Rest in Peace.

We all had breakfast and then spent most of the morning at Minnis Bay. The sun was out and so there were a lot of people down there. The tide was also quite a long way in. I think I am going to have to buy a tide clock. The three dogs were in their element, swimming in the sea. It was windy!

and Jack just loved this “Do it again please daddy!”

We had a lovely time but all good things have to come to an end and they had to go home later in the afternoon. Ellie was exhausted!

We then watched Man U v Chelsea. A good result seeing as Torin supports Chelsea and Rhys supports Man U!

A nice muddy walk and Ellie decided to bathe in a puddle!

It looks as though Kent is increasing in popularity.

Later in the morning Torin, Lisa, Scarlet and Jack arrived. We went for a very long walk in the afternoon and everyone and three dogs were muddy! A good thing we have a long tiled hallway from the back door!

We took Ellie to Minnis Bay as we haven’t been to the sea for a while because of the toxic palm oil. We believe it has all gone now but every time Ellie stopped we shouted “leave it” just in case. She was good and wasn’t even particularly interested in the huge jellyfish that were scattered all over the beach. Her ball and running in and out of the water were far more important.

Apart from the jellyfish, so many shells on the beach.

In the afternoon I went to Westwood. Last time I was there I bought Jack a hoody but couldn’t find a nice one for Scarlet and I can’t get one without the other. Well, I went everywhere and this new season they were yukky colours like ochre or salmon pink. In the end I found one in Next. If only I had gone in their first. Do they really think 7 year old girls like these appalling colours? Scarlet likes pink and purple, girley colours!

We had a muddy walk over the fields But we love it! Perhaps it’s all those years in Cyprus without rain. Ellie certainly prefers the cooler weather in the UK

I sorted out some more things and stored them in the loft. Mal started his potting in the potting shed. Ellie sat outside the door. I wonder at some stage in her early life if she has been locked in somewhere as she hates enclosed spaces and wouldn’t go and join Mal in the shed. It’s a hug shed.

Mal decided he would go to Wingham allotment and so I said I would take Ellie for a long walk cross the orchards. We played ball in Elgar’s field first and then went walking. Mal dug some more and put some compost on one patch. I got about half way through the walk and it started raining. I had the cat keys so turned to go back. I thought Mal would be a bit concerned as there is no cover but he wasn’t, he just carried on digging in the rain.

I don’t think the apricot trees should be quite so advanced with their budding.

I went to Westwood Cross to collect an order from Wilko. I think I just got out of there in time before the Police arrived to explore the unexploded bombs!

We didn’t bother driving anywhere for our walk. Instead we went to the wood down the end of our road and then across the fields.Yes, it was muddy but at least Ellie kept out of the stream.

Mal and I then went into Canterbury. Some of Ellie’s toys are wearing out, nylabones that are  too chewed for her to keep and also a huge rope. She loves the massive ones and they last her ages. So some new toys for her and a lot of fish for us. I have to say I prefer fish to eating meat.
