Woke early and dozed for a bit before rising and making tea. Planned my route into Kent....need to take in Dartford, Canterbury, and Dover today, as well as a couple of villages on the way back home. We had porridge for breakfast. Set off for the Blackwall Tunnel, then put some petrol in the car at the Sainsburys petrol station in Charlton, before driving onto the first port of call in Dartford. Made a brief detour for a photo op outside No.39 Denver Road, the childhood home of one Sir Michael Jagger. Our journey on to Canterbury was severely delayed by the closure of the M2 between junctions 5 & 6, which meant coming off at junction 4 and finding our way on to the old A2 Watling Street...with several hundred other drivers! Added almost 2 hours to the journey. Stopped in Canterbury for a late lunch at the old goods warehouse at Canterbury rail station, which has been converted into a food hall. Finished in Dover around 1600, then headed back toward several villages around Tunbridge Wells. Stopped at a pub in the village of Frittenden for dinner...Aki had the wild mushroom pie, I had beer battered cod and chips...and very good it was too. Got home around 2215 utterly exhausted. Aki had a bath, but I headed straight to bed. Busy day's rehearsal tomorrow...
