Week 326 – June 7th – Surrey v Hampshire Day 1 – Part 1
Today was the first time we had been to see cricket this year, as we went up to the Oval, for the first day of Surrey v Hampshire, just 2 days after the T20 match between them.

Week 325 – May 30th – Goring by Sea
After record breaking temperatures for May earlier in the week, we decided to take a trip to the coast at Goring by Sea and enjoy a relaxing day.
For the first time we were able to park in the car park and in this day and age, it’s rare, as the car park is free.
It wasn’t over packed, but several people went into the sea.
Had a lovely late lunch at The Sea Lane Cafe.
A couple of pictures from the day.
Yachts out on the English Channel.

Week 325 – May 25th – Greenwich
With a weather breaking record for the hottest day in May ever (34C.8 at Kew Gardens), plus the hottest bank holiday day for any time of the year in England, we went up to Greenwich and had a walk and sit around down by the River Thames and in the park too.

Of course The Shard Annoying that you can only park for 4 hours in Greenwich Park and no reduction in the parking cost for being a bank holiday which used to be the case for parking in the past.
Once again, the cost-of-living coming home to hit.

Week 322 – May 9th – Deal
Today we went and did the shopping for Claire’s dad due to all his health issues.
Once this was done, we had a nice walk along the Deal Sea front, as is so often the case it was sunny, but a wind was around, so when out of the wind, it was quite warm.
This yacht must have liked that.
Must have been a lovely day in the yacht on the English Channel near Deal. -
Week 322 – May 8th – Day with Carol and Wayne
Today we spent a day with Carol and Wayne, with Carol and Claire having tattoos done on their legs, whilst we had a walk around Maidstone.
After a light lunch, we drove to Bluewater and spent time shopping before going to Pizza Express for nice evening meal.
Considering there was only two servers on, the service and food was excellent.
Lovely day.

Week 322- May 5th – Regent Park – Part 1
Went up to London today and walked from Charing Cross station to Regent Park.
Never been before, didn’t realise that the park was so big and had roads going through it. Had nice, pleasant fun day with Claire.
Visited the Queen Elizabeth Garden.
