Margate

Inspired by the film 'Mr Turner' and the fact there is the Turner Contemporary Gallery there and a BEACH, Big J and I took a drive to Margate.

The Gallery was twixt exhibitions, so not much going on, although nice to poke around the shop. In the summer there is a Grayson Perry exhibition coming, would like to see that. 

We ate in a Caribbean themed place, Mullins Brasserie and the food was brilliant. Butternut and ginger soup! Must try that at home. 

We saw these lovely little sanderlings and some turnstones, (the brown ones) apparently all resting before they head off south. 




A walk along the beach was bitterly cold, runny nose sort of weather. Not much in the way of sea glass, but I did find a lovely piece of sea porcelain in blue and white. 

So good to get out, to walk, chat, read the paper over coffee. A nice day.
