Friday this week was a quiet day just walking the dog around the beach but today was different as we went St Margaret's at Cliffs near Dover to have a look at a wild camping spot for a friend.
We travelled down the A2 and turned onto the Deal Road to get there but we got lost and took the wrong turning and we went past a camp site and then down a very steep hill and we realised we were going back into Dover by the Castle and down to the docks.
That meant we had to go back up and onto the deal road again and follow our steps back St Margaret's on the Cliffs.
We stopped at a green to walk the dog and a Coach stopped and a foreign gentleman with a map gets off and heads for me to ask where a cafe was--why does that always happen and you wont to help don't you but just cant.
I told him to talk to the people at a bus stop, which he did.
Then we put the dog back in the car in travelled on to the Monument car park although there was terrible potholes to try and miss.
The Cafe was opened and there was small car parking area and a great walk the cliff top, it is a lovely spot.
Coming home past sandwich we were following a Ambulance when he stopped and put his lights on.
There was a man on a mobile and I thought his car was steaming but as we passed you could see the car was on fire. The bonnet had a bulge in it and it had split with the heat which was letting the flames come through.
We could see the smoke as we passed Manston Airfield, poor thing he has lost his motorcar now.
We were then driving from a wonderful sunny day to a very wet day and the rain started to come down but it was showery so we drove in and out of the showers.
Got home and got the washing in just in time as the rain really poured down then.
It has been a great day today.
