Gravesend

A couple of cruisy days in Gravesend. Yesterday was cool, crisp but spectacularly sunny and we went to Jeskins (while Karen worked) to walk the dog. Today we went to the massive mall, Bluewater to get some new luggage and then went to dinner at a 400 year old pub, famous for being a fav of Charles Dickens who featured it in one of his story's.

Uncle Pat showed me some of his historical collection - this is one of my great grandparents on my Dad's side.

Steak and Stilton suet pudding and veggies. You'd have loved it Dad!
And finally - a soak in the spa pool!

  1. That pub epitomises what I love about the UK and Europe, the history.
