At around 8 pm we bestirred ourselves and thought about looking for our evening meal. We walked up the hill…

The shell shop

…passing the shell shop,…

The Amusement Arcade

…the amusement arcade,…

The Antiques Shop

…the antiques shop and several cafes and restaurants all of which were closed! Broadstairs seems to shut down in the early evening.

The High Street

We started up the High Street which was almost silent in contrast to its daytime bustle.

Gulls, aerial socialising

The only source of noise was a flock of gulls performing their evening aerial socialising, flying round and round and calling.

The Co-operative – open

So, finding the Co-operative store open, we went in and bought the makings of supper. We bought items to microwave so as to have something hot.

Down the High Street

We then returned down the High Street, heading for the bay and home.

The Promenade

We walked along the promenade which was much more lively than the rest of town and where the local gulls, like their cousins over the Hugh Street, were performing their evening socialising, sometimes speeding along inches above our heads.

Viking Bay at evening

I couldn’t resist a final photo of Viking Bay. The tide is well in, as you can see. Few people remained on the beach though a volleyball court had been set up snd a game was in progress.

As for us, we went home and enjoyed our Co-operative supper – with tea, of course!
