Today we decided to leave Reggie at home and go to enjoy a dog-free morning in Folkestone.
Ostensibly to visit Dockers Bakery to buy some bread. Dockers is what I think current speech is an artisan baker.
With the loaves safely in the car we had a walk along the Harbour Arm. There wasn't much open and once we passed the bars and food outlets we turned around.
It was good to see that the Triennial Seagull is back on display and restored back to its original condition.
It made its appearance as a visitor information centre back in Triennial 1.
We stopped for a coffee at the Harbour Coffee Co. Socially distanced of course. Plenty of seating with views out to sea. In a day like today France was very visible.
With a lunch baguette we needed something to put on it. We decided on seafood. This meant crossing to the other side of the harbour.
From the Google map of the walk it looks as though we walked on water.
In fact we went across the old railway viaduct that took trains to the ferry in the past.
We decided on Bobs Seafood. There are others but Bobs is our first choice. We bought a couple of seafood cocktails.
On the way back to the car we decided to get some whelks and stopped off at Chummys. They were very busy. Since they started doing cooked food, business has looked up greatly.
Claire's friend Ulli wanted bread and so we called in and dropped off the loaves we bought for her - socially distanced of course!!
After lunch I took the bike out for a run around south east Kent.
Here is the map of the walk on water...
