We went for a walk along the sea front and around the Reculver Towers. With all the folk walking around in shorts and carrying beach toys and the like it felt like we were on holiday ourselves. The pub verandah and garden were fairly busy but we got a bench at the far end. Unfortunately Isabel got bored fairly quickly so we didn't get the chance to stay long.

Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider4.30GoodToasted sugar and earthy hops dominated this amber beer. It was a bit hazy and perhaps not in the best of condition but it was still pleasant.

Came with Jane, her mum and her brother. They wanted to see the towers at Reculver but it was cold so I though blow-that and went to the pub.

There weren't many people inside the pub but the decking out the front was busy with families having lunch.
