Deal Dover and Folkstone

Yesterday I did a round trip eastward bound. I first went to Faversham to draw out some money, get some pipe shag and to do a charity shop visit.

In the charity shop down West Street bought two CD’s and two books for a fiver, as well as giving them some donational material as per my instructions.

The CD’s are -

Craig Armstrong - The Space Between Us (Melankolic)
Me & You - Floating Heavy (Tru Thoughts)

I use have the Craig Armstrong CD at one time during the mid nineties and I was amazed to find it again in a chazzer for a quid. Tru Thoughts is also my favourite Brighton based label, and the CD I picked up has some fine tracks on it, if eclectic and sometimes a bit patchy. Came out in 2007.

The two books are -

Lionel Shriver “We Need To Talk About Kevin” (Serpents Tail)
Bernard Cornwell “Heretic” (Harper Collins)




I then left Faversham to get to Canterbury and on towards Deal, Dover and Folkstone to do a number of Iceland visits. Whilst in Folkstone I stumbled across another Wetherspoons pub, The Samuel Peto, which I have seen as a visit before on one of my companies I use, and so if it comes up again it will worth a visit.



Got back from Seaford on Tuesday and arrived about 4.30 pm.
