Holiday, trips and events

  • Week 119 – June 26th – West Malling farmer market.

    Today we went to the West Malling farmer market and Manor Country Park.

    This was the first time to the market since Covid19 hit, unfortunately the number of stalls had greatly reduced, so another fallout from the pandemic.

  • Week 117 – June 12th – Greenwich – Part 1

    We decided to go up to Greenwich again for a walk in the park and by the Thames.

    Never seen the river Thames so high.

    Compare this picture to the one I took in early May. (see earlier post in blog)

  • Week 116 – June 4th – High Elm Country Park

    As the weather improved today, we decided to go to Farnborough, but there was nowhere to park, unless you were willing to pay.

    So I drove to High Elm Country Park, here the car park was free.

    Haven’t been here for at least 30 years, but it hasn’t changed that much in all that time.

    Good to get out for a walk and fresh air.

  • Week 116 – June 2nd – Biggin Hill part 2

  • Week 116 – June 2nd – Biggin Hill Part 1

    Finally this week we got to the Lookout café at Biggin Hill.

    It had been closed down during the pandemic as it was used as a Covid19 testing centre.

    Unfortunately none of the staff were still there, but still provided good food and service, and a great place to watch aircraft land and go.

    Took some pictures of the various aircraft there.

  • Week 116 – May 31st – Top Gun

    This afternoon, we went and saw the new Top Gun movie.

    We were in recliner seats, but they wouldn’t recliner, after getting a member of the staff, it appears that the power had somehow come disconnected for our seats. Thankfully all sorted before the film started.

    How does Tom Cruise stay looking so young?

    We both enjoyed the film and would recommend it to be seen.

  • Week 113 – May 14th – Goring by Sea and Worthing

    Today we visited Goring by Sea and Worthing for the 1st time.

    Makes a change being able to park up and not have to pay.

    Nice walk by the beach from Goring by Sea to nearly Worthing Pier.

    Good lunch at a café at Goring by Sea that my parents had recommended.
