It has been eight month since Mrs P and I have enjoyed a day trip, due to the various travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic. However, now that some of the rules in the UK have started to be relaxed, we decided to plan a modest excursion out into the Kent countryside. Although some pubs and restaurants are now open for business, albeit outside only, we decided not to make a reservation anywhere as the weather was still somewhat cold and there was the possibility of rain. So we packed our picnic rucksack with a range of comestibles that were suitable for consumption inside the car and headed out towards Ashford, along the M20. I’ve been reliably informed that once you reach a certain age, it is extremely important to include the details of the route you took in any travel related anecdote. Far be it for me to fly in the face of tradition.
