This is Whitstable Bay off the Kent coast which is just an hour's drive from London. So when I knew C, a fellow blogger from Minnesota wanted to see a fishing village, not too far from London, this was the obvious choice. The sun was shining as we strolled along the coastal path listening to the screeching of the seagulls.
The tide was out and being a pebble beach there were not that many children playing although these two had braved the cold waters and been in for a paddle.
There was lots of activity out on the water with the sailing dinghies and the windsurfers.

Almost Whitstable is also famous for its oysters  Did we or didn't we? |
Well, I couldn't let a visitor not try the local delicacy now could I?
Followed, of course by fish and chips!
Looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a successful excursion. Yeah!
ReplyDeleteThat was such a fun day, and the best fish & chips ever! I could eat them every day. Maybe not the oysters, though. Now you need to come to Minnesota and try walleye right out of the lake and into the frying pan.
ReplyDeleteA great meeting and a great visit to the coast. Oysters, I don't think I will ever eat them....
ReplyDeleteWow, it is very nice to see you together. Blogging is a great opportunity to make new friends.
ReplyDeleteThe fish and chips look great! Fun to show a visitor some of your favorite places.
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe YOU were going windsurfing, but no, you are sensibly having a wonderful repast. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe allure of the beach and gifts from the sea………..and English Fish and chips! It sounds as if you had a wonderful day.( I can't wait to retire from full time employment.) Warm regards
ReplyDeleteSlightly alarming headline. I didn't recall windsurfing being on your bucket list. I love oysters, at least half a dozen, preferably more.
ReplyDeleteWould have loved to join you for fish and chips ! I used to love oysters but one day I ate a bad one and was so sick ! Ever since I don't like them anymore !
