Those of you who know me well, know I have a soft spot for my local riveria. So Sunday, fresh from Chesterfield, we ducked down the A2 to Westgate. We stopped in at the nursery to purchase tomato plants - whilst all around (happy-couple-Sunday-shoppers! or rather bossy matriarchs and subservient blokies) were returning with trolley loads of plants and compost - Pops wandered back with a tray, held like a waiter, containing just TWO tomato plants! It was at the time an amusing sight!
Amazing how the first taste of summer and everyone is buying folliage that come July they won't be able to water because the hose pipe ban will be back in force... ah well.
We continued on to the hazy filled coast - parked at Westgate and did the customary walk to Margate... the wind still held a chill so the trusty body warmer was a relief.
Margate in the distance...
The groynes of the Kent coast....... which reminds me Margate beach was full of Britons stripped off and enjoying the sunshine. Playing football, tennis and having a donkey ride..
The beaches between Margate and Westgate. Various children discovering the rock pools. Dad and I merely commented on the rubbish washed ashore. Litter -its everywhere.
When did we become such a filthy nation?
Me @ the beach!
As for this picture it just goes to show how hazy the day was - the horizon is there - somewhere!

That can only be shared with true pikies - though I suspect you will find some @ Reculver if you ever go there!! Or anywhere along the Medway towns railway line! :-)
