Last weekend, Levi took 3 days off to take a break from the city and visit family in England. We rented a car and drove to Calais, where we took the ferry to Dover. The ferry had a 2-hour delay, which happened to be good for us as it took us longer to get out of the Parisian traffic (le Peripherique). We enjoyed the green pastures and quaint architectures along the way. I loved being on deck while waiting departure. There was a nice cool breeze that was so refreshing after a quite hot week in Paris: the kids were a bit cold and decided to go into the family lounge with Levi. The boat took 1h30 to get to Dover and we drove along the coast until we found a lovely family B&B in Dymchurch, 2 min from St Mary's Bay.

I was amazed at the beauty and comfort of the place...out back there was
a little canal with ducks surrounded by greenery, and on the other side
of the canal, there was a field where a herd of sheep was grazing.
Famished, we looked for a pub to get some grub. We had asked for some recommendations from our host and followed his directions to The Ocean Inn, conveniently located by the beach. We enjoyed some really good roast beef, lamb, and Yorkshire pudding.
