‚Zitrusfrüchte‘

#FotoVorschlag #whitstable #whitstablebeach

Schmeckt mit Zitrone noch besser. Und am Strand sowieso.

Every time my daughter and I take a trip to the sister-in-law in lovely #whitstable, we pass this table on our walk from the station. Gorgeous little plants. We always buy something. I’d love to know the story behind it. Does someone grow all these from seed? #seaside #cactus #succulents #gardening

Table full of tiny cactus and succulents.

I was idly hunting through the photos on my phone and realised I have a full set of these. In #Whitstable we have our own local "Banksy" equivalent known as "Catman".

There's quite a variety of artworks around the town but I love this playful series poking fun at famous classical paintings.

Graffiti stencil art on the side of a wall on the street. The "Son of Man" painting by Magritte (man in bowler hat and a smart suit and tie, with an apple for a face) is framed but continues below the frame. The subject is shown to be wearing shorts with bare legs.

Graffiti stencil art on the side of a wall on the street. Munch's "The Scream" is framed but continues below the frame. The subject is shown to have a small dog biting their leg.

Graffiti stencil art on the side of a wall on the street - a framed painting of the Mona Lisa but it continues below the frame: the subject is wearing a long flowing dress with a slit that shows a full leg.

Home made hot butternut squash soup from thermos flasks, bread and obviously warm thick coats, woollen hats and blankets sitting with my partner’s family by the sea in bitterly cold wintery conditions. Couldn’t be happier. Refreshing. 😀 #Whitstable

Photo of a seaside beach made of stones. Multiple wooden groynes reach out to the right along the shore into the sea. There is a tarmac covered road / footpath runs along the shoreline. On the left is a row of wooden beach huts. On the horizon is a sun that has long since set but is still illuminating the clouds above the horizon is an amber glow.

For a different take on English winter animal #guising #folkcustoms (not quite #mummers, #mumming, #mummering, nor even #marilwyd ... but sort of related, back in antiquity), here's the performance list for a team in the #Whitstable / #Faversham / #HerneBay area.

A short video of kite surfers off Tankerton beach that I took in April last year. Rather them, than me! 😁 #kitesurfing | #TankertonBay #Whitstable #Kent #England

Keeping with panoramas, here's a video I took along Tankerton Bay, Whitstable in April 2024. It's slow to start, but it's worth watching through, I reckon, for the 'surprise' towards the end 🙂 #beach #panorama | #Tankerton #Bay #Whitstable #Kent #England

A delightfully tasty light meal with a good pot of English tea was had at Whitstable Castle today. Good weather for autumn too. #Whitstable

An 18th century English castle. The walls are mostly made of large light brown coloured pebble stones with both square and round turrets with a castellated roof edge. Windows are fitted with leaded glass. There is a garden mostly laid as a grass lawn to the front with tables and chairs with on a flag stone patio with barbecuing grills to one side.

Random summer holidays shot of the day. This lovely little boat on the pebble beach at #whitstable last week. Windfarm and Red Sands Forts just visible on the horizon. #Summer
