Here's a view over Pegwell Bay, on a gloomy day, for #MeerMittwoch. This used to be the terminal for the hovercraft service from Ramsgate to France - you can still see the parking bays marked out. We once thought this would be the future of cross-channel travel, and I went on it a couple of times. It was like being in a very noisy plane in constant turbulence.
This is also where both the Saxons and the Romans first landed in Britain.
The sea is out there somewhere...
