Day 9 (27th August) Didn't we have a loverly day....

we went to Margate! First time ever for me. Visited the Turner Modern. Beautiful space and views, shame about the cladding that gives it the look of an out-of-town storage depot. After seeing enough of Tracy Emin's bits I go for a swim. Quite a contrast as most of the bathers are Asian males, one or two women wearing hijab. I feel  underdressed in my tankini ( a very practical choice for discrete changing and disrobing on beaches and river banks but still uncomfortably revealing in some circumstances) and am glad when I have waded out far enough to cover myself in the water. I swim a distance towards the harbour wall with a view of a wind farm, and back towards the other natural arm of the harbour - a rock formation. 4 times, about 100m each? so 400m

Earlier we had breakfast in the Harbour Cafe - lovely! - and now we eat fish and chips from Peter's on the harbour front. Perfect.
