According to the Rough Guide, it appears Mal and I are always on holiday! They have listed their Top 10 Places to visit in the world. North Cyprus is number 1 and Margate is number 7!! I can’t say I agree about the Turner Centre being so marvellous, most of it was closed on one occassion we visited. And if you are going to travel, then don’t expect too many of Turner’s works, hold on until October 2013 (until January 2014) when there is going to be a major exhibition of around 50 of his works. They do claim to have had 750,000 visitors but goodness only knows where people parked as it has no car park, you take pot luck in the town! But Margate does have a certain quaintness all of its own.
Mal did a bit of his exam work, which believe it or not, he had forgotten about! It was only the first small check and he emailed it and received the go ahead.
It wasn’t so cold and so we walked to Westwood to get some shopping, extension leads, lamps and lots of other things. We are now getting surprisingly organised (at last!)
