Meldrews' Sunday

Yep. It was Meldrews' Sunday. Today we were back at the original Kent Centre meeting place on the A20 near Smeeth. The Blue and White Café. Cal was there already and no other bikes when I arrived. I squeezed in on the hardstanding behind an Audi that needed two car lengths to park! The café was packed with "normals" and just us two bikers. It seems from being a transport café for truckers and bikers it's attracting Joe Normal and family. Anyway. I had the half breakfast which gets one of everything for the Full English. Very good and now included coffee or tea.  The M20 past this section was closed southbound and so the A20 was very heavy.  As we sat and ate and chatted ambulances and police cars went southwards with blue lights and sirens. With the M20 closed it meant this is the only route for them. Response times must have been through the roof!! There seemed to be a lot of them close together. Had there been an incident? In the course of an hour maybe ...
