My aunt and cousin both lived in Faversham in Kent, UK, until about two years ago. Whenever we went to the UK, we based ourselves in Faversham so we got to know this quaint English town quite well. These are pictures from April 2016 taken at Standard Quay.
PS I know its Friday and not Thursday but I ran out of time to post yesterday.




Good photos! I wonder what it’d be like to live on a houseboat. I guess it’s like an RV but probably louder with the water lapping against the sides.

I’ve never been in a RV or travelled by houseboat, Priscilla, so I have to imagine it too. I have sleep in houses right near the sea and the water is load at night.

Nice shots.
Strange looking collection of odds and ends outside the shop, but I’d be happy to join you all for a glass of cider at the pub 😀

Great photos, Robbie and here’s a first – I’ve been in that pub! We went there many years ago when my now ex-wife and I were staying with my Dad and Stepmum and went out for a drive. You really should have had a pint of Bishops Finger rather than the cider, though – traditional ale from my home county’s brewer!

That’s good to know, Clive. I’ll remember that for next time. How nice that you have been there. It’s a great place.

It was early 80s when we were there – I hope it hasn’t changed too much!

I can’t say as I’ve only been there once, but it looks old and unchanged if that helps at all.

that does look a classic English town. No surprise there was a pub there… 🙂

I had the same thought about the classic English town.

Nope, every English town has one and often a cathedral too. Sometimes it’s only a church though and then it’s a town not a city.

Is that always the case that the distinction between a town and a city is based on having a cathedral or not?

Oh WOW! Brings back such memories of Faversham! I had a 32’ motor sailor (A converted Admiralty cutter) Moored at the quay in 1975. I spent many weeks fixing it up including the old Thornycroft RTR 6 cylinder marine Diesel engine. The craft carried the name “Freedom”. I lived in Ashford, not too far away at the time. The hit record of the day was Rod Stewart’s “Sailing”. Happy days!

The owners of that first door certainly have a lot of stuff out there.
And for good or ill, you can definitely tell that’s your mother. Some resemblance, there.

That shop entrance has so much character. Lovely picks. The moss on the roof of the first photo is also interesting. Or at least I think it is moss. Haha!

As it is in the UK where it rains so much, moss is a reasonable guess, Micah. I do love England, everywhere is pretty and has character.
