Frost was on the ground when we woke up. It was still there when we went out about 10 o’clock but by then the sun was out. We decided to go to St Margaret at Cliffe and go for the lovely circular walk and see The Pine Gardens and also Noel Cowards and Ian Flemings cottages. I drove down the steep single track road to the little car park. We were quite surprised that the ticket machine had been covered up and so we didn’t have to pay. I believe  that this is the closest point to France, which we could see across the sea. also both our phones went to French reception!!

We had only walked about 50 feet along the path to the bay when my feet went from under me and my new        camera flew in the air to crash on the concrete. I wasn’t  that interested that Mal told me I slipped on thongweed.  I really hurt my left side, arm and shoulder and cut all my hand open and seemed to have filled it with gravel! Mal was a little concerned as I sat on the floor crying in pain!

I managed to hobble to the ladies and wash some of the mud off. After I got over the shock of it all, I began to drive home but my left arm hurt so much, Mal had to change gear! A great day out, I was glad to be back at the caravan to take some strong pain killers and tweezer all the gravel out of my hand! I hurt!!
