The white cliffs of Dover

Bit sad to leave the continent after such a great time and so much freedom. The ferry trip from Calais to Dover is only 1 1/2 hrs so before we knew it we were tieing up beneath the cliffs.


Arrived about 7.30pm, found a guest house (really cheap) all rooms full and off street parking so bit lucky there. unloaded gear and went in search of a pub for a snack. Found the White Horse Inn which had been operating as a pub since 1329...hmmm..bit hard to comprehend that. Had our meal of sausages, mash and peas. 

So Kent is all about gardens...as Ron was to find out. Sissinghurst garden has been a favourite for so long, it was very cool to finally actually go there. Arrived as it opened at 10.30am after about 50km ride through country lanes on the LEFT hand side of unmarked roads.Ron did well!


no English country garden is complete without a fete going on in the field
