I walked into the town centre today to have my second covert food visit at Spoons. It turned out to a brighter day after the dullness of the morning, and the sun poked out for a while.

I had the steak and kidney pudding with peas, chips, and gravy. Washed it down with a pint of Adnams Broadside ale.

Afterwards, I walked through the town to see what shops were open. I first took a gander at Fleur De Lis Museum and looked at the history of the Gunpowder Factory.









Here is a history of the gunpowder works in Faversham.

I then went down Preston Street and noticed that the Oxfam shop was open. I bought a Bob Dylan CD for two quid - Blood On The Tracks. I picked up some bits from Superdrug and then walked home.

After having lunch in Maidstone, i first popped into the charity shop where i  bought the Guy Barker  CD,  as they had  a small collection of jazz albums at a quid each.I had put four of them aside,and said that i would return to pick them up.
