Devall Travels

Another trip to Dungeness.  The weather was iffy but we decided to have another drive out and a walk on the shingle away from the train station and the nuclear power station.   It was of course very windy.  So we had jumper and waterproof coats on.  We have been a few times recently and the difference was quite amazing.  A few weeks ago we were the only people in the café garden alongside the tracks. The trains weren't running.  It was windy then and we sat with Reggie on a bench on the platform letting the building shelter us. Today though.

I had a half day Flexi-leave today. Firstly to take my Rocket III for its MoT and then to go out for the afternoon. The MoT went off okay and I was back soon after noon.  First run to Hythe for a spot of shopping for dinner.  The second to Dungeness with Reggie along for a walk. It was windy and although sunny, the wind made it chilly. After a coffee on the platform of the Light Railway station we walked across to the Polish War Memorial.  Reggie likes a sniff about and to check out the entrances to the rabbit warrens.  At the memorial we saw that the information board had been removed.   It gives information on the two Polish pilots that died nearby during the Battle of Britain. We guessed it was for a reason as the wreaths and other memorials were still in place. Hopefully, the next time we go it will have been replaced. From there we drove home. It was way past Reggie's dinner time after all!!
