Folkstone Harbour

The tide was just coming in as we got there,so we watched as some of the boats were being made ready to go out once there was sufficient water for them

Folkstone

We are standing on the cliffs at Folkstone looking down onto part of the beach that has recently had a lot of money spent on it and looks very splendid indeed.Just need some heat and I'm sure it will be used

White cliffs of Dover

Obviously they look better from the sea looking back........and maybe Vera Lynn singing in the background

White cliffs of Dover

Now we are on the most famous cliffs in England.Again a beautiful day and I was not going to get any nearer to the edge.But it was a lovely walk with views of Dover Castle one way and the port another,that had massive ships in and the channel ferries going across to France etc

Canterbury

This is a replica of a ducking chair.It was used to punish nagging wives by ducking them in the putrid water that was also for emptying sewage into

Canterbury

Yes we went under that bridge.This is one of the oldest bridges that is still used for traffic.The few old bridges that are left have been pedestrianised.

Flowers

Posted by PicasaGotta like the flowers.We stayed Just outside Gt Yarmouth on yet another race course,but right in the middle this time.On our 1st night there,it was Ladies Night at the races.We paid half price to get in,(my 1st races) and had a ball.We betted on all 6 races,won 1 and came second on another.There was a great atmosphere,but it was funny watching the horses on the big screen,run around the course with all the vans etc on view.A boy band came on after the races ended,people were singing and dancing,really good.

Hunstanton,Norfolk

This is an amphibious craft that drives across the sand until it gets to water and then becomes a boat.The tides go out for a very long way,sometimes you can't even see the waters edge.It also comes in very quickly

Norfolk Broads

This is where we picked the boat up from.The windmill is a museum about the area.We climbed to the top for great views
