We spent this morning getting ourselves packed and ready for our departure on Friday. This entails trying to work out what we need in sunny climes but also packing for any eventuality. You never know what we'll get while we're away so need to pack for sun, cold, rain, floods, snow, wind - although I'm not taking wellies! First aid kit, binoculars, books to read, lots of wool and sewing stuff as well as the normal swimming stuff, mozxie spray and suncream.
As we'd booked our birthday afternoon tea ( a present from last year's birthday that we've eventually got ourselves organised for) we had breakfast and held off on lunch. I'm glad I did!
A warm walk over to nearby Aylesford village for our tea in The Hengist.
We started off on a glass of Prosecco so I was a bit sozzled before the sandwiches arrived - I hadn't eaten since breakfast 😅.
We had a huge spread of goodies and ended up bringing back about half to share with Amy and Freddie. Beetroot butter on our cheese scones was a bit of a novelty. Pink butter was quite unusual.
The tide was coming in on our walk back. Ian was in charge of transporting our box of goodies back. He did a good job of getting it back unsquashed.
As we had such a good spread neither of us could manage dinner and have spent our evening lounging around and not moving. We'll have to go on lots of walks while we're away as I feel an extra tummy tyre starting to creep out 😅.
