NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY 9th AUGUST 2026

Today is the day you start a new book if you are not reading one at the moment. I am starting this one. The Works has its best offer on at the moment: three books for £7.50. Their website is here. The Folkestone bookshop is having children’s story time all through August on a Thursday. The website is here. The library has moved into the old Woolworths building, so much easier to get to if you take the bus or drive. Website here.  I love starting a new book.

ENZO GOES FOR AFTERNOON TEA AT THE COTERIE

ENZO GOES FOR AFTERNOON TEA AT THE COTERIE

Kara makes delicious scones and cakes; I ate the scone and bought the cakes home. Enzo…

BLACK BULL HUNGRY HORSE, FOLKESTONE

BLACK BULL HUNGRY HORSE, FOLKESTONE

I took Kara and Enzo over to the pub for dinner the other day; it’s Enzo’s favourite place to go at the moment. He takes his little football as there are always some kids to play with, so it keeps him amused, and he always eats all of his kids’ meal. This comprises a chicken burger, chips and beans, a drink and a big ice cream; he eats it all every time. Kara had the chicken Greek salad, and I had the lamb kofta Greek salad. I must say they were delicious and filling. A couple of Spritz to wash…
