Joan and I went over to Canterbury, Bill and Margaret had invited us to stay with them for a couple of nights and this gave Joan a chance to really spend time and money in Canterbury High Street. We had two very enjoyable evenings with Bill & Margaret and Joan managed to almost fill that … Continue reading »

Sunday lunch in a pub on the Romney Marshes, ecstasy!  We had arranged to meet Andrea and Simon at Botolph’s Bridge Inn for lunch. Andrea and I used to work together in Dover and she and Simon had just got married a few months ago so it was time to catch up on all the … Continue reading »

Jill doesn’t work Friday through to Tuesday, so we were all able to take a trip into Rye town. Joan’s first visit to any shops for a year, so she was overjoyed.  In the evening the four of us had just enjoyed a meal together and guess what, it rained again. This time a real … Continue reading »

It doesn’t seem like a whole year, we have had so much to do and an ever expanding social life that the time has just flown by. Del, Sandra, Lorraine and Anne-Marie took us out to Errol’s restaurant in … Continue reading »

Not much outside of the regular pattern of shopping and odd jobbing to report on for the last few days, I have however managed to get on with the gazebo over the terrace table. In the current temperatures, what you have to do is, get up very early, start work around 6 a.m. and then … Continue reading »

This evening there was a 60′s and 70′s night, at the recently opened Castle Pub, with BBQ etc. So we thought, as this was probably our music era we should attend. Another good night out with friends, but now we really must have a few early nights, to compensate for the whole string of late … Continue reading »
