Our usual visit in obtober
We visited Canterbury. A very nice town with lovely (very)old houses in the city centre. Lots and lots of people in the streets. An imposant cathedral with lots of scaffolding and an even imposant queue of visitors before the gate.

In October we were back for the usual automn holidays.
This time we visited Walmer castle
Walmer Castle is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Walmer, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast.
In the 18th century, Walmer became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and was gradually modified from a military fortification into a private residence.

We celebrated Christmas with whole family in Kent this year. We had a great time.
Between shopping, talking, presents and dinner eating we had a walk on Samphire Hoe. Samphire Hoe is a country park situated 2 miles (3 km) west of Dover in Kent in southeast England. The park was created by using 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl from the Channel Tunnel excavations and is found at the bottom of a section of the White Cliffs of Dover.
