Walking into Whitstable

For those of you who asked, we booked the lovely beach house through here. Whilst our place only slept 2, there were others that slept up to 6 and all of them looked lovely and were in the same peaceful vicinity.  The booking process was really easy and everything went smoothly.

We did lots of walking whilst we were in Seasalter.  We walked into Whitstable a few times.  It said in our info booklet that it took less than 30 mins to walk in, but the houses are so gorgeous along the way, and I am so nosey, that it took over an hour each time!  Some of the houses are sea side shack type of residences, whilst others are huge houses with £1million + price tags.

The town itself has a delightful selection of individual shops and places to eat.  It has a nice vibe.

After a particularly long beach walk, we called back for a drink on the beach at the Old Neptune.  I felt sozzled as soon as I walked into the pub as the bar and floor is very sloping!  Hubby and I are still on the "alcohol free"  - 6 months and counting!

We had some celeb neighbours.  Apparently Janet Street Porter and Harry Hill  both have a des res on this beach, and I remember this pad being on a Nigella programme once as one of her pals owned it.

The Oysters and mussels are grown and farmed in abundance in the bay - this bed was revealed outside of our house when the tide went out.

We had a lovely relaxing time.  Friends thought we might run out of things to talk about as it was our first holiday without the kids, but I've never run out of things to talk about in 53 years,  and hubby only half listens and forgets most of what I say, so it doesn't matter if I repeat myself anyway!
