A Day in Deal

We spent the day enjoying Deal. Ruth did a trail ride with a local stable this morning, even though it was a bit wet. Meanwhile the rest of us were unable to resist the siren song of the bookstore, all the more as we were looking for a dry place to wait on Ruth. As usual, we left with all kinds of goodies. By the time we picked Ruth up, the rain had mostly cleared out, so we decided to have lunch at Jasin's Restaurant, out on the pier. Afterwards, we had ice cream and coffee at the Deal Beach Parlour. We then walked down to the castle and then ended up playing on the beach for a while before heading back to our house. We wrapped up the day with a lovely visit with our landlords, who live upstairs. It was such a wonderful and relaxing day, and we enjoyed ourselves very much!

You know we had to stop and take a photo with the giant statue!
