Trials,Tribulations and Happy Moments in my busy life

Sunday 22 July 2012

Sea Side, well sort of.

Hi folks,
After our busy day yesterday and a lie in today, Sue cooked me a nice birthday breakfast and we set off for somewhere quite as I did not want to get caught in any traffic jams on a hot Sunday. We arrived at this place and I met a chap there who said" we have lived in Chatham for over 40 years and this is the first time we have been here". Well I thought, that's a good start, we hadn't either.


First thing is that we got buzzed by the Navy, what an inhospitable place have we have come to said Sue but the sun was out so who cares.


Have you guessed where we are yet??


This will give it away a couple of dogs run along this wall and watch the fishermen drowning worms.


There is a bit of rust around this place as well.

There is also a wanted poster of a retired lady who makes cards although her picture did not do her justice, her new job is picking up litter along the sea front and the town.


I really wish I had stayed at home with all these people milling about, still the sun was out and it was peaceful.


There you go, a few sniffs along here. Hint hint.


Opps what's this thing sticking out of the bushes?


We meandered back to the car taking casual pictures of plants or weeds on the way back,



Right you nature lovers, this is a Teasel, I know that I use one to clean my Suede shoes but the question is  the purple starting of finishing of the plants life.


Lastly a Thistle, looks like it's been there a while with the cobwebs.

Thanks for dropping by.

nite nite, luv Mike XX
