My wife and I were also at Dungeness on Saturday; it was indeed very hot. Although there is only one pub, you seem to have overlooked the wonderful Snack Shack which sells fresh fish and which was very busy at lunchtime. It’s about three-quarters of the way from the station to Prospect Cottage. Give it a try on your next visit!
I did see it, but my husband doesn't do fish shacks. He has a complicated relationship with sea food! I will have to go back on my own one day and sample the delights. x
I love this Katy and the perfect description of a sunny day when everyone goes where you want to go and be alone a bit like Zsa Zsa Gabor. As hot as the surface of the sun is one of my favourite sayings. I like to use it when eating hot things that I know are going to be hot and then I still put them in my mouth and burn myself. As someone who worked in hospitality I sometimes find eating out excruciating and then my husband finds my behaviour excruciating. It sounds like a beautiful day all round.
I had a husband once who used to go overnight fishing at Dungeness and from how he described it, I thought it sounded like a very bleak place indeed. Because nothing was open while he was there he used to poo in a plastic bag and bury it, but I much prefer your beautiful evocation of the place than the tales he regaled me with.

Ha ha! That's great. I like to do that with sour foods and my husband thinks I'm mad. x

I loved reading this, such beautiful, evocative descriptions. And now I need to go to Dungeness!
