We went to visit the picturesque costal village of Deal where we walked along the pier to have breakfast in a little cafe overlooking the sea called Jasin's.
Whilst walking around the town I also spotted this great hand painted sign for the local sweet shop. The Sugar Boy is very traditional with rows of jars of old fashioned treats which provided lots of sweets for Charlie and the Chocolate factory film.
In the afternoon we headed out for a vineyard tour and tasting at Terlingham Vineyard, the smallest one in the UK with its own winery. The wines are produced on site by hand, the grapes are harvested from the southern facing slopes - the climate and soil are similar to that of the champagne region in France.
We tried the two whites and a red and ended up purchasing one of the whites - the Saxon Shore 2009 which was awarded bronze in the national competition, we consumed it all later that evening.
I also went to my first village fete I can remember and it lived up to expectations! Bunting, a coconut shy, bric n brac sale, brass band and...
...and a great spread of cakes and sandwiches by the local community.
25p for half a homemade tuna sandwich - bargain!
