After we left Margate we headed back to Whitstable - we were there last September when I got a fortnight's respite care - first break in years.
We didn't realise it back then but the season was over. This time it was full of people and everything was open.
I think I preferred it empty!
It is still a working fishing port;
Although not everyone was working when we were there;
There's a nice new toilet where I did my injection in the baby changing room. We both liked these tiles but when I tried to take a picture I got some very strange looks from people.
Robyn went back and took this later;
About 10 years ago, quiet little Whitstable got very fashionable amongst the rich London 'movers and shakers' and it shows; it's full of the kind of people (and their spoilt children) that I can't stand.
It's quaint and full of seafood;
We had a really nice fish and chips, right by the sea.
I didn't fancy it but Robyn had Oysters, which the town is famous for;
It was a long, long day - we did it because it was going to be the only day it didn't rain that week.
We stole a day from a miserable rainy summer.
Robyn wanted to get me home but I managed to spin things out to get the sunset;
Which was well worth it;
I didn't really want to go back because our visit last year was so special but it was still nice.
