We traipsed on down to Devon for a week - and a splendid sun burning, clotted cream OD'ing, west country ale supping time was had.

Much '2 penny' and '1 penny' spending joy was had on Teignmouth traditional pier (which isn't one of those huge Weston Supermare smoldering affairs), of which was furnished with traditional arcade machines built by companies in Broadstairs and Ramsgate. Shame there isn't space in Margate for such a similar affair which would benefit local companies, peoples and visitors????

(Go on - click each image to divulge your self in enlarged Devonian delights! No? Oh please yourselves )

A sparkling sparky afternoon on the spanking Harbour Arm.

We traveled to the big smoke of Londinium. Not usually for the likes of us, but they let us past the barriers and we were left to our own devices on the streets, (which are in fact NOT paved with gold!?)

What joy and unimaginable fun we had, 3 days stuck in the Earls court exhibition space, with wretched tea and scolding paper cups.

Back in Margate a feeling of serenity flooded over us and our woes were lifted as we parked outside our humble abode, and gazed at the side of my newly keyed car. Theres no place like home......

As another fire consumes a beautiful building in Margate, we should consider active pride of our heritage, our architecture and our surroundings, and we should feel sad and let our anger at this pointless destruction fuel action to preserve that which should not be lost.

Just some random images from our random ramblings - (as usual click the images for a pleasurable enlargment) ]]> http://www.hawley-sq.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry080226-174333 ]]> http://www.hawley-sq.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry080218-074831

Yes my dearios we had a 'Fun Fair' arrive on the square last week for a three day extravaganza, to celebrate the opening of the new library???Mmmm.As you can see it was well attended by the ride operators and council workmen.

I was told by a nice lady from the council that the fair was for children and that we didn't have to worry about anti-social behavior, drunkenness etc. This was being encouraged and supported by the game/stall holders, where their main prizes for knocking something off something or hooping a hoop around a something was bottles of booze. (you can just make out the bottle shapes on the last image - give it a click)

Great prizes for 'the kiddies', get em started young.....

Check out the images and click two PMs of purpleness at the o2 Arena, a second fort trip that was, and i quote the Bayblast skipper "The roughest we would ever taken anyone out in, we didn't realise it would be that rough - im not going out in that again" (hense the 1 picture only as it was a camera braking - skin soaking journey), also the Kite Festival at Margate which we caught the tail end of, Hmm?

You've been waiting for it and so it comes..... Click here and scroll down to the bottom to find the latest update of Beas own blog - this time showing the fun a small dog can have on holiday.]]> http://www.hawley-sq.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry070828-154954

yes its a shame that holidays last a limited period of time, but here for as long as i pay for the web space are some savoury moments of our hols for you all to keep on enjoying for as long as you want....

Delight at the 3 hour traffic jam, sit or stand in awe at the overcast skies, wonder at the knitted objet d'art of Newlyn, look from a disappointing distance at the remains of Hallsands, breath in the bleak atmosphere of a pub near Morcamblake, look on in amazement at the listing Napoli.

Our memories can now be yours absolutely free and direct from this website......for a limited time only, no purchase necessary, see terms and conditions for details.

Huzzah! m'hearties we took from the coast of Herne Bay and set sail for the ghostly forts that crown our fair horizon. First off we heaved ho and crept through the shimmering waters of the giant wind farm, snapping as we did with our camera obscuras as the water breached the bough. The sea birds kept us company, as sirens called from the abandoned rusty hulls of defences long past their use. No treasure was found and no ship mates lost. Whilst on board our vessel i had the pleasure of singing a shanty or two with an experienced old sea dog whose picture i managed to capture before we headed for home and dry land. He came well prepared and his whiskers caught the salty spray and aged him while we sliced the darkening drink...... We are all locked up now in our cabins and huts on sod and soil. The candles we lit are sighing their last as we sleep in dreamy mirrored seas and are cloaked in the stark shadows of those shivering sands.
