the rotation gods were kind and by chance i happened to have the friday of our anniversary weekend off. it's been about a year since we last went to hutong and the mister was hankering for good chinese food with a view. little did we know that england would be playing uruguay that night. the mister did try to convince me to have dinner later but i was having none of it. if being in a serious, long-term relationship has taught me anything - it's about keeping score. so while he was furtively and not-so-furtively checking the score through our otherwise romantic dinner, i now have a hall pass for future misbehaviour. yay!
set off bright and early over the weekend to kent, stopping for lunch at the sportsman. had heard good things about whitstable and initially booked to stay at the fishermen's huts by the shore (continuing our series of sleeping in strange places) but just couldn't bring ourselves to pay £200/night (weekend price, minimum two nights) when it's ordinarily £95/night in the week. the website and photos were lacking and after some resourceful sleuthing, the mister chose a charming b&b instead. relieved he did, because we did sneak a peek at the fishermen huts at the beach and ohboy, not impressive. bullet dodged, whew.
will be posting over the next few days about the trip, do check back if you'd like to see :)
