[center]Well three of us did a nice day for the seaside, and the nearby pie and mash shop, I must admit to felling a bit tired in the afternoon after a double pie and double mash.

Good to see the bikes getting out now with the better weather looks like we had more sun though, do they do pie and mash in Swanage

[Adrian]

Les,



the plan was to get down there in the sunshine yesterday but we were delayed until today. I have never seen pie and mash advertised as tripper food in Swanage, though it might be on some of the pub menus. Bearing in mind Swanage is quite a bit further for the down from London brigade than Herne Bay, it also might not be served in the same style. The fish and chip shop was doing a roaring trade though, and if you wanted dressed cab from the seafood stall I suspect your luck might have been in.



Also, Herne Bay doesn't have any of these!

I think the pier had a narrow gauge steam railway in the 1050s to replace the earlier tram but most of the pier has now gone, Tenterden has steam though I have been to Bodiam while having a ploughman's lunch a couple of times

Should be 1950s nearly changed the course of history
