Here’s some sunny scenes from the seaside town of Whitstable in Kent, taken last year when a small festival was taking place by the harbour.
Whitstable is about an hour and half from London by train, with the harbour a short walk from the train station. Here you can see the fella in the hat confidently planning his route into town.
Patriotic plastic windmills.
Whitstable is famous for its oysters.
Here’s some views from around the harbour:
The beach was very busy.
Some brave souls take to the water.

Oyster shells everywhere!

Taking in the last rays of the sun.
Harbour at sunset.
Town shops.
Fancying a pint, we popped into the Royal Naval Reserve – and inside there was mayhem!
Although the clientele were clearly no longer teenagers, they partied very hard indeed to the DJs – it was a great atmosphere inside the pub!
Ghost signs.
