Still trying to get seagull pictures, typical I can only get them from the back!!

Woohoo! Later this afternoon we are travelling to Gatwick airport to meet our daughter and her friend! My husband hasn’t seen Alice for a year, and although I saw her in April when I went out to China I am really looking forward to seeing her again too – lots of mummy hugs to come I think!!

Middle Street, the cream coloured house on the right was my Grans house, right opposite the Fish and Chip shop!! We lived further along this street to the North, there are some lovely houses all along this street, but at one time it was considered a slum area!

A small part of the seafront

I am not sure when I will be able to get another blog done, which I think is understandable, so I thought I would leave you with some very recent pictures of Deal in August! I had to take my car into the garage last week as I had a slow puncture, so I took the opportunity to leave the car and have a lovely walk in the sun, complete with coffee and a piece of cake in the cafe on the end of the pier.

Wonderful window boxes along the seafront on the houses……

………and the pub!

Deal is a lovely little town one of its strengths is that you don’t have to go through it to get anywhere, which is wonderful.

Lovely day for fishing

And finally St George’s Church in the sun.

Nearly time to get ready to leave, I think we are in for a busy but happy couple of weeks, take care everyone, I will be back soon Smile
