On The Island

We went to the Viking ship cafe for a coffee and a short walk for Ellie. The main reason we went was to return their pager. They leave it on your table to tell you when your food is ready. Mal put it in his pocket and mistakenly came home with it!! It rained a little but we managed to get an under cover seat to drink our coffee.

At the weekend a driver smashed into The Pilot Inn at Dungeness, we visit every time we stay at Romney Marsh. Thankfully it has all been put back together again! 

At least it will all be back to normal by the time we get there in September.

Ellie’s post op X Ray day. We had to leave her at the vets at 8.30. As always we hate it and a loss to know what to do until the surgery phones us. As we were in Eastry, we decided to try the drive from there to Deal . The Deal – Sandwich road is closed for road works and there is a long diversion. Yes, we were guided through villages to get us there and as we hadn’t eaten (because Ellie couldn’t eat!) we decided to go to Spoons – The Norman Wisdom for breakfast.

Crazy all that including refillable coffees for 13 pounds 81p !!

We collected a wobbly Ellie at 1.30 and she slept most of the afternoon.  Now we have to wait for the consultant to return from his holiday to report on the X ray but they think all is OK. We hope so.

We had a video call with Rhys first thing, he is in Spain with Lou for a few days by Lake Iznajar.

I went to Westwood, to take some clothes back that I bought online.  I hate buying clothes online but often, little choice. When I was in M&S a lady came up to me apologising but asked me where I bought the straight leg white trousers I had on!! I had to tell her I bought them last year as I have had the same problem as she has…..we don’t want the ridiculously huge baggy bottom trousers.

The roads were packed, queues everywhere, all heading for the beach I guess.

Another half a kilo of cherry tomatoes from the garden. So many at the moment!

A work day and quite busy. The weather was humid which I hate so I felt really tired by the end of the day.

We decided to go and have breakfast at The Viking Ship Cafe. It is really nice there and ideal for a walk in the shade with Ellie first.

The breakfast and coffee there is very good. and lots of locals to chat with and lots of dogs. I think Ellie thinks she is getting a little back to normal.
