Holidaying at home

When we knew that, because of my course, we could only take a holiday in August, we didn't want to pay through the nose for a holiday in peak time so decided to holiday at home. It's all too easy to miss visiting what's on your own doorstep - even though geocaching has taken us to lots of parts of Kent, we do have a tendency to grab a cache and move onto the next one, without properly exploring the locality.

Today we drove to Dungeness to take a trip on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, which has some fantastic engines like this one:



We got off at Hythe, an attractive little town which is just like dozens of other attractive little British towns:

Back at Dungeness we went for a stroll where we found lots of strange buildings and objects rusting away:



there were wild cabbages as far as the eye could see:



and as we left for the evening, the seagulls were taking roost on the telephone wires:
