What are you all up to today? - part 3

Where ever you visit ,enjoy our county ,too many people see Kent as the gateway to Europe and don't stop to see what we can offer 

you must try some of the Whitstable oysters

Tenterden has a nice steam railway ,if that's your sort of thing ........

We've been to Kent many times and agree that it is a very attractive corner of the country.

JVB - we are a bit off the beaten track for buses this time, but have always found parking easy enough in Canterbury.

Agree about Margate. Despite the recent art gallery and attempts to make it more 'up market' I'm not at all sure they've succeeded yet.

Nice to hear from you David, it all sounds good! 

Went up Mt Ventoux today.  Got further than the Tour De France race - but the we took the car up.  A little cooler at the top, but very little wind now.  Moving on to Frejus tomorrow.

Hope you paid tribute to Tom, David!

...How is the van going,do you have the tall fridge and if so is it gettig over cold?

Thanks all.  Couldn't get anywhere near Tom's memorial this time Ian.  So many cyclists about - very, very busy.  We went up the south side, from Bedoin, but couldn't get parked at the top.  We went on down the north side and managed to park a little way down.  Carol and Anna managed to walk back up to the top, but alas, it was too much for me!

All is well Brue, as is the fridge and the van JVB66.  We have the tall fridge and haven't found it a problem getting too cold.  We take a seperate 'chest type' fridge for the awning too - mainly for drinks.

It's been quite windy here at Aubignan - the Mistral has been doing its bit

Enjoy your trips, your days and the weather folks.  I've liked lots of posts as I've not got time to comment on them.

Lovely to hear from you B2. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time in your second home.

What a lovely day for tugging!  Just done 140 miles from market harborough (sorry about no caps.)  Road was dry, weather overcast with occasional sunny breaks, warm and very little commercial traffic. Even the cars were well spaced out and no hold ups.  Cruised the Elizabeth Bridge (dartford Crossing) at 50mph all the way. Never had such a good journey. Long may they continue.

The local NZ people sound lovely B2, turning back the clock a bit! Hope all is going well. Day at home for me, a few jobs to do, OH and pal have gone fishing.  

Great to hear your news from NZ, Bakers2.  Sounds like you are having a fantastic time.

We are heading home today, it's been a great holiday this time, have enjoyed all of it, will be planning another visit to east anglia very soon, still lots we want to see and do.

Just checked weather for home 32°c for Tuesday, should be able to get the washing dry  may melt back at work though!
