Deal

I visited Deal today, which is a small seaside town near Ramsgate.  Bit of a mission to get there, but thankfully decided to catch the train this time which required two changes.  It is quite odd visiting seaside towns in the freezing cold!  Today's temperature is 6 deg C, and in the wind it is cripplingly cold, so cold in fact that when the train got delayed back through Ramsgate - everyone on the platform had a go at the poor station master.  Then we stood around, in true English style, discussing the wearing of woolly hats in April!

When I asked the fishmonger if I could take a photo in this smelly but colourful fish shop, his response was, "It's a bloody mess now!  You should've been here at 5 o'clock!"
