You must help us, we've come on holiday by mistake.

[nevergoogle]

Just what is there to do in and around Westgate, Kent?

Boys are 8 and 6. I'm sure they will be fine. They have sand.

But what can I do here other than be absorbed into a good book?

I like art and creative stuff.

Help please.

Yes to calling the baby Turner! Awesome update; not what I was expecting.

Ha! That will teach you!

It's not what I was bloody expecting.

Found this thread and it made me smile.

Brilliant update

Congratulations! I mean, I think I've congratulated you on other threads, but I hadn't connected you back to this one before now.

I hadn't noticed the date of the OP. There I was thinking it was just an innocuous dull holiday thread!

Congrats

yes, sorry, i resurrected a zombie thread, but i felt there was a lesson we could all learn here, and that is that you should always follow the advice on mumsnet and not go off-piste with your own hairbrained plans.

If only you'd taken up the suggestion of the steam train...

You amorous whippersnappers

Brilliant! Congratulations.

You did say that you were seduced there. We just naturally assumed that you meant "persuaded to go on holiday" whereas you meant it literally...

A friend who had just had her 3rd daughter said 'I'm never going on holiday without the children in February again' having had 3 daughters, all with birthdays in October, each of which were over 12lbs at birth... luckily the third was on-time rather than late and was 'only' 12lbs

congratulations!

Congratulations. You know property's cheap down there and the schools are good don't you . If you go back there's:

Windsurfing at Minnis Bay
Powell Cotton Museum and Play Barns
Lovely little zoo near Wingham
The convent/abbey at Minster
Bleak House at Broadstairs
Howletts Zoo
Canterbury Cathedral and the Gulbenkian Theatre at the Uni (lovely walk down by the river)
Lovely pub at Fordham for lunch
Chilham Castle
Turner Gallery in Margate
Shell Grotto at Cliftonville
Stiff upper lip at Dreamland and Margate's dreadful arcades
Carlton Cinema in Westgate (is it still there)
As everyone else has said Whitstable.

I'm not going back!

You obviously got absorbed into something other than a good book

the book was terrible. i had taken my sewing machine but the iron was crap so i couldn't get on with the dress i was making.

kind of ran out of things to do.

Well if I'd known about your first thread you might have avoided this . Aw, go on, you can visit my mum for me .

Oh, and having left at 18, I vowed never to go back either. And never have for more than the odd night although we had some lovely holidays when the dc were tiny and my mum took them off my hands for a bit

or Margate for a girl?

Ethelbert or Canute for a boy
Ethelberga or Mildred for a girl

All local roads. ROFL.

So now we know what you got up to on holiday lots of sex to while away the dull evenings

ha ha I opened this because of the title, clocked the date, saw it was you nevergoogle and thought... Isn't that bout 9 months before her baby is due? Oh. yes. it. is.

Bloody south coast with nothing to do!

brilliant thread :)

Call the baby Kent. Pronounced in a special estuary accent with swallowed vowels.
