"Gun" Day 2 - Watching

After a reasonable nights sleep - something woke us at 6 am, then Brody started barking. Jo got up, she wakes much quicker than I do.  Much later breakfast at The Gun Emplacement is taken with a view of the English Channel watching the ferries and ships going to and fro.

Over breakfast we discussed our accommodation.  It was built in 1910 and was once owned by Peter Ustinov in 1970 it was sold to Miriam Margolis.
After Breakfast we walked along the cliffs - part of the Saxon Shore Way.  It was a blustery day and as we were very close to the cliff edge it was not a good idea to let Brody run - the wind makes him mad.

The route took us round ant up to the junction at the top of the cliff, where the village green is.  I left my camera behind, so Jo took a picture of the boat filled with flowers.  We returned to "The Gun" for cup of tea.

Refreshed we walked down to "The Coastguard" for their 12:30 opening, keen to try their food.   While we waited Brody sampled the beach, but not the water.

Starter

Main Course

The starter is white bait, the main course is sea bass with winter vegetables.  Sadly the picture is awful, but the food was lovely.  The main course stayed piping hot right to the end of the meal.

We walked back up the hill and settled in front of the TV to watch the Davis Cup Final, the score at the time was 2-0, 1-1.  A remarkable result.  These last few years will go down as remarkable in the history of British sport.  After the celebrations it was time to find the F1 race from Abu Dhabi. BBC iPlayer
 replayed the race for me almost perfectly.  What a comparison to the Sky only races I watch on NOW TV, which are jumpy and at a very low resolution.

The race over - not the years most interesting, but a better result for McLaren than usual.  We had our usual Sunday tea and proceeded to venture out into the dark.  There are almost no street lights here, so a torch is required especially as for the first couple of hundred yards the road is un-made.  We also found a bin for the dog waste - a great relief for us (and Brody?)
