Fridayday 9th August 2019 Paulene & I went to Brian & Marie for a longer
visit. There was tremendous traffic and we took 10hrs to drive up to Hythe, but on arriving Joachim was keen to let us know it was his Lasagne we were
having Anneka had done the sweet which was Banana loaf but that was not all Liz was around with Olivia and her boyfriend James so with Dan & Esther we
had 10 down for dinner!

Sainsbury's I stayed outside by the Military canal with Theo. They enjoyed their purchases but Katelyn didn't want to take her new dress off! She had it on

Thursday We went with Esther to Grove Ferry Picnic Site walk along the Great Stour River & then into Caterbury where the ladies went shopingafter
Brian took me to look at the City Wall then into the City for coffee at Macdonalds, where we had a market stall
holder selling up calling for last closing offers Only 1£ a packet!!! Then down to 50p a packet!!! Friday left
about 10:30hrs it took us 6 hours to Kurt normal 3½ hours; traffic
was bad at
the Dartmouth Tunnel. Saturday Brian & Marie had a very hectic day. First Marie had to be in early for her hospital operation, then Brian was to drive
to Gatwick Airport to take Phil and family to catch the plane to see Dan & family in Czech Republic. This was all with M20 Closed between Hythe & Ashford!!!
Tuesday went to Dover, stopping of at the
SKCC where Paulene had a guided tour all around even the boiler room,
Reuben went as well as he was his Dad's assistant that day, but I was exspecting a dirty faced pair back but they were clean?
Paulene wanted some M&S underware so was going with her sister to Dover to shop. Had lunch first on the beach but the shopping
center Tescos was only a food hall! Then we went to the White cliffs, Brian gave us the option of 4 mile walk or a 1 mile walk to South foreland
Light house.
I was happy we went for the walk down the foot path not all the way along the cliffs. You can see
above our foot path where Brian dropped us off to walk to the Light House after a very enjoyable tour round the light,
We went down to St. Margarets Bay looking forward to food! The Steak Night but it was reservations only,
so we went to Dover for a Carvery at the Rock Rose where it went down well with a nice Australian Red !
