I have just returned from one of my frequent sojourns to Kent and today I have been having a nice chill out day to recover.
For the weekend I scheduled a busy itinerary so that I wouldn’t be dragged off shopping. I am not really a fan of shopping but when I do go shopping I prefer to go alone and browse at my own pace.
So where did I visit? Well I had a day in London visiting Kensington Palace and gardens followed by a visit to the V&A and a brief visit to Foyles. Yes I know the latter is a shop but bookshops don’t count as shopping 
In all, I managed to walk over eight and a half miles, no wonder my feet were aching. By the time I had done all of that the meal in the Spaghetti House was more than welcome.
The next day I visited Dover and most importantly, the castle to see the tower which has recently had a refit to show castle life as it would have been during the reign of Henry II. There wasn’t so much walking this time, although there were a lot of hills and stairs to negotiate. For some strange reason they gave me was in French!
I didn’t quite manage a shopping free weekend. I was encouraged to visit the Bedouin encampment just before leaving for home.
This bridge is a familiar sight along the journey, the sky looks rather different from last time I took a photograph there.
A very pleasant time had by all I hope!
It had it’s moments
I do not like driving over this bridge, or the one in Hull. I get butterflies in my tummy.
I think I must have been too busy trying to get some photos to notice. I have never crossed the bridge in Hull so I am not sure what that is like.
Foyles Bookstore and Spaghetti House… I’m a bit of a coward but I might risk crossing the bridge (on foot) for those two outings!
There is another way round so you don’t have to be brave and cross the bridge
My dear old mum and dad were at Dover castle on Sunday. I live – ahem – a short distance away…
What a co-incidence it was Saturday when I visited. I will be posting the photos soon
Bedouin encampment? You do get around all right.
When I post the picture (soon) you will see what I mean
I was hoping the link would have a photo of it, but for some strange reason it didn’t!
[...] the stowaway making sure he didn’t get left behind after my recent visit to Kent.
