Cool Weekend
I've been out of town a fair bit this weekend, including a drive out into Kent for a picnic and a bit of an explore today. We picnicked at a country park by a village called Vigo, with views out over the Kent countryside, which was beautiful, then drove on up to the Isle of Sheppey and found an unexpected mix of trailer-park-style 'holiday villages' full of stationary caravans, and nasty-looking 'family bars', just up the road from classical Kentish villages with cricket matches and cream teas.
Worth doing for the contrast alone.....

I have heard absolutely dreadful stories about Leysdown, where the ‘undesirables’ from round here all have caravans and spend the weekends getting drunk in the pubs whilst neglecting their children.
And I’m not being snobby saying ‘Undesirables’, believe me.

Actually, I was trying to avoid being specific, but that’s exactly where I was describing….
