  they are great days, the kids Are the quiet ones, because they are involved.
  
  the adults are not so well behaved though.
  
  missed the one today, my little friend was at nursery in the morning and whisked away to france in the afternoon.

  Have been off work holidaying this week. Explored the corn mill on Tuesday and am off to the castle, picnic in hand, today. I've been told the seige tour is quite cool so will be trying that one out. Any other bits I should look out for?
  I know the kids festival is on. My one won't come (far too grown up to be seen in public with me) so I will just have to pretend I am about 10 (shouldn't be too hard!!)

  By the way, we are driving the double decker Simpsons VW. If you see us give us a wave. You really can't miss it. I think Bloke had a bit of a brainstorm and he just can't stop adding bits to it!! I would post a pic but I'm not sure how to do it

  kathy
  how old are your children?
  the siege experience is fantastic, but may be frightening to young or timid children.
  
  lights flashing, warfare on screen.
  be warned.

  my boy is 15, not young or timid, just too "cool" to be out anywhere with me!! We went and explored for ourselves and enjoyed some of the kids fun. There were bits we didn't do but that's ok, it just means we will have to go back!

  Wow Kathy!!!! I just LOVE your Simpsons VW
  
  On my school run we see a Scooby Doo one but yours is even better!
  Are we likely to see it around Dover between 7.30am and 9am, or between 3pm and 4.30pm? Can you tell me roughly where to look out for it, I cover most of Dover. I do hope "my" kids see it - they will love it!
  
  That is so cool!!
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  It#s a bit hit and miss. You are most likely to see us at the weekend. I've seen the scooby one, it belongs to a teacher at Archers Court.
  The summer is when we use it most because the high top catches the wind. Next time we are over I'll pop something on the forum if I have time.
