I woke up feeling better today and then all the comments on my blog and in the Macmillian site have boosted me up and I should count my blessings and stop feeling sorry for myself.
Our blind in the front room had lost its brake and wouldn't stay up so ray had a job to do today and as always he mended it for me.
The snow is disappearing very slowly in the thaw and at last in places we can see the road again but not the path's yet.
Everyone seemed to be going out in their car's so the local supermarkets must be crowded, not the day to go shopping, I think I will wait.
I made cheese straw's and Eccles cakes to put something into the cupboards to snack on.
I enjoyed our walk as it felt warmer and was easier to walk on the slush although in places water is gathering in puddles now as it cant run away down the gutters.
Motorbikes were being ridden and even a push bike came by so people feel safe again on the roads.
We saw a Blackbird but funny enough the Seagulls are not on the seafront.
I'm so glad we have moved to Seasalter, situated on the North Kent coast between Faversham and Whitstable, as it has a lot of history for it was a settlement in the Iron Age, a village that was, as its name suggests, a place for salt production. After the building of Christ Church Priory in Canterbury the village and lands were taken into its possession, and the Domesday Book notes that Seasalter "properly belongs to the kitchen of the Archbishop".
Just about the time a Saxon church dedicated to Saint Peter stood at a site somewhere off the coast beyond the Blue Anchor pub; and the great storm of 1099 engulfed it and effectively moved the coastline inland, and the present ‘Old Church’ was built on higher ground during the 12th century.
With the Crab and winkle Line built to take the Crab and Winkle's to Canterbury Whitstable grew as a fishing port.
So the New St Aphege Church was built in Whitstable in 1844
Seasalter is to this day a pretty untouched village and even though Houses and Bungalows have been built it hasn't really changed in appearance.
An Interesting garden in Seasalter
A man in his Garden has models of little houses and the Old Church which his father built many years ago and holiday makers walk by and admire them.
Well I have whittled on tonight so I will sign off.
Goodnight Sleep tight.
