  You could be in a different country. Sitting here in 30 degrees heat. Will be visiting Deal next week, come rain or shine😅

  Always loved Deal. &nbsp;<br><br>Each Sunday afternoon, during the 1980s, after a walk up the Needle (The Dover Patrol Monument) in St Margaret&apos;s Bay, family would drive to Deal to have tea at the Lobster Pot. &nbsp;Small cafe with linoleum flooring, on the seafront. &nbsp;There were some local characters, I recall a retired gentleman who had been working in a nearby colliery. &nbsp;He always had much to say. &nbsp;There was an amusing wooden seagull attached to the ceiling, I wonder if it is still there! &nbsp;And pictures of storms or fish caught on the wall. &nbsp;There was also a cinema in Queen&apos;s Street which closed during the Miner&apos;s Strikes. &nbsp;Some good showings, notably &quot;Return of the Jedi&quot; in 1983 which I did attend with children from my village school. &nbsp;<br><br>However, back then, Deal had little to no social scene, barely a high street, no industry (except the odd fishing trawler) a few pubs and that&apos;s it! &nbsp; It&apos;s something many at the Royal Marines School of Music complained about when stationed there (and which is why the 1989 IRA bombing was such a shock to the local community). There was (and still is) little to do in Deal with cold, long, dark wet winters and frequent storms in the Channel the norm.<br><br>Lost in time indeed....

  My great-grandfather was from &apos;Deel&apos; -- Did Deal used to be spelled &apos;Deel?&apos; &nbsp;It was def&apos;ly in Kent. &nbsp;Thanks for the great vid! J from Chicago.

  Looking forward to you going to Hythe. So many interesting places. And you’ll feel like a young man compared to most of the residents hehehe the butcher is good, shame the sausage lady butcher closed a few years ago though.

  I liked that format because it allows for serendipity. And because it&apos;s what I do these days. Dashing around to see the approved sights is a thing of the past for me.

  Hi Tudor<br>A great half hour this format is more enjoyable in lots of ways, if you do another house or a castle then you can go into the history of the place. Hot Chocolate and Carrot cake Tudor, I thought you were on a diet I hope the Carrot cake was sugar free. Fish and Chips is a english dish not Curry. Cakes we shouldn`t be looking in these shops keep clear. 🤨👍
