June 13. Whitstable

 Even considering that England is coming into summer, the weather is unseasonably good. It was sunny and about 25 today! We took advantage of this to go along the coast to Whitstable. Judging by the crowds, everyone else had the same idea. But the sun was shining on the water, there were small dinghies racing out towards the horizon and this was a good time for a seaside icecream.

Whitstable Harbour. Vintage lifeboat and large number of Con-trails

Still a working harbour, despite the tourists

We walked up and down the highstreet, then went to the Whitstable Oyster Brewing Company right by the sea wall. This was my major goal for the expedition, to try the oyster stout, made with whole oysters. This may have controbuted to the strong mineral flavours, accompanying the smoky and woody quality.

On the way back we picked up the hire car that Lynn and I will take away tomorrow.
