I went back upstairs to the room.
Ma was sat on the bed with her nose in a Mag, but I could tell from her cheeks that she was grinning.
I told her that she was a very naughty old girl and that she should expect to be punished.......and the punishment I had in mind was to load her into the chair and then
push her down the steps of the hotel.
She laughed and said she was going to report me to the 'cruelty' man.

I looked out our window to see clouds...black ones at that, blowing in from the sea......and the wind was starting to blow the curtains about a bit.......a little while later there were great drops of rain plopping onto the window and it had become noticeably cooler in a very short space of time....

Another lovely sunny day dawned......we both slept well, but woke early.
Ma looked lovely in her cheap night wear.
Our day was to be full on......I would certainly need my 'full english' to sustain me through the day.

Once breakfast was over we got onto the coach for a full day out.
We were going to visit Rye, Tenterden and Battle.
The coach trip took us through some beautiful countryside.......oast houses, lush green fields bordered with hawthorn bushes that were heavy with blosson. There were baby lambs abd rabbits scampering in the fields and the sky was that lovely 'hot' blue.
We could not have picked a better day.

It didn't take us very long to get to Rye a lovely old fashioned...

Just wanted to say that really. Its been over two months, well 9 weeks and 3 days, but who's counting. Miss my girl, our home and cats. I will be back in dear old blighty for just over a week and then back to the millstone. The really annoying thing is, last week I was in England, well Heathrow, we flew in satyed for an hour or so and left. I had time to have a chat with the dispatcher and get a copy of the Times, but did not have chance to pop into the terminal to get any mags. So, thanks to BA stoping a nice direct flight from London to Casablanca, I have to get the train to Marrakesh (60's Style) tonight and will be at the airport there about 1am, my flight leaves at 7.30 in the morning get to gatwick for lunch then get the BA shuttle back...

Ma and I got washed and changed into our finery(well, it was finery to us).......and went down to dinner.
I got myself a glass of lager at the bar......I had had a glass last night and it went down like new milk......mind you i had a real thirst on me then......Ma said she would have a shandy. It was lemonade really with just a whisper of beer thrown in for colour....it looked like 'maidens water'....she said it was 'just right'.

We had ordered our main course and starter......I chose orange juice and a chef's salad....the options were Roast Lamb, or Sole bonne femme......can't eat either of those......and the chefs Special that night was a chicken korma....so i wasn't really left with much option.
The food came and...
