And on the Lord's day the sun did shine and the winds did not blow!
In truth most days have felt like Sunday since I stopped work for the festivities on Monday. But, like most other days there were plenty of football to listen to in the afternoon. So, there was never nothing to do.
In the morning, after a late breakfast, we drove down to Dover Patrol for a walk along the cliffs. A walk along the cliffs is never a wasted one, as the views down onto the beach or crashing waves, or even over the Channel to france is always aweinspiring. We found a place to park and set off, and we were not the only ones to have these thoughts, although most seemed to be day visitors or tourists to the area. But we don't mind, there's plenty of room for all.
Just north of Dover Patrol we could see there has been yet another fresh cliff fall, just a small one, but the bleached-looked blocks of chalk reached out about 50m into the sea. The fallen section gives dramatic views down onto the beach and along the line of cliffs to Kingsdown.
We walked back to the via the path over the fields, and we meet no one else along the way. Once back at the car park we see that there are many more cars about, and one is waiting for us to leave so short are the parking spaces. We drive to B&Q to check out roof panels for the shed, only to find they sell only very large ones. So, we retreat home to check online, and for me to cook lunch.
Lunch turned out to be warmed up turkey and all the trimmings (cooked fresh) and in about an hour we had a very fine Sunday lunch indeed. We open a bottle of wine, and listen to a match on the radio as we eat.
