When
Early October 2023
Why?
To celebrate my birthday with a walk by the sea and enjoy some autumn sunshine!
It always rains on my birthday. Always has, ever since I’ve been old enough to remember (more years now than I like to recall, mind you!). Even the year we treated ourselves to a holiday in Mauritius, we had a very heavy, very sudden downpour that sent everyone scurrying away from the pool and into the bar for shelter.
With this in mind, when planning a quick autumnal escape for my birthday weekend, top of our research list was the weather forecast.
Discovering that the only sunny spot in an otherwise cloud-covered country was likely to be the south-eastern corner, and with my preference for a visit to the seaside, we settled on a brief trip to the Kent coast. Having been raised by the sea (albeit it much further north), I rather miss it these days, and need regular injections of sea air.

And so, leaving behind drizzly Buckinghamshire, we arrived around noon at the warm and sunny Primrose
