GREAT ESCAPE TRAVEL GREAT ESCAPE
My autumnal birthday always seems to bring the rain. For as long as I can recall (more years now than I like to remember!), it has always rained that day. This even includes the year when we treated ourselves to a holiday in Mauritius – a very heavy, very sudden downpour sent everybody scurrying away from the pool and into the bar for shelter. With this in mind, when I began planning a quick escape for my birthday weekend, at the top of our research list was the weather forecast.
Discovering that the only sunny spot in an otherwise rain-cloud covered country was likely to be the south-east corner, and with my preference for a visit to the seaside, we settled on a trip to the Kent coast. Having been brought up by the sea – albeit it much further north – I rather miss it and need regular doses of its bracing fresh air.
