Our only chance of a break comes at the beginning of the Easter Holidays. So we have booked ourselves into a B&B. After church on Sunday, we make our escape. The weather forecast is good, dry and sunny for the whole week. It's only about an hour to Whitstable, and travelling after 3pm on a Sunday afternoon is a good time - the traffic is light. When we arrive at the B&B we have to find our nominated parking space. We have been warned that they are small, so driving down Norfolk Street, (a very narrow road with cars parked down the left-hand side) we get to the parking space and turning into it is not possible. From our space onwards, the cars are parked on the right. I drove down to the end of the road, turn around, and return. Now there is room to turn in. Each time we do this, we will have to use the same procedure. The room is lovely, just what I was expecting. We are given the guided tour by our host, and then left tour own devices.

At this time of year, there's still plenty of light left, so we stroll into town. There are a few interesting things to see on the way into town. The first is this diver on the railway bridge, and soon after a tribute to Somerset Maugham.

Further on there is the "Peter Cushing", a Weatherspoons Pub. After a walk around the harbour, we had dinner in the Duke of Cumberland. A nice well cooked meal, with good service. Then back to the B&B to try to get some sleep. We are not used to sleeping next to a main road, so our night was a little disturbed.
