THE BORDERS OF WHITSTABLE

Suddenly, and finally, it is spring, and an overnight stay in Whitstable was the perfect place to welcome it - even though those stiff sea breezes were still a little chilly.

Then it was off to dinner at The Sportsman in Seasalter for what I can categorically report was one of the most delicious meals I have eaten in a long time. Poached oysters with pickled cucumber and caviar topping, no less! All served up in a delightfully unpretentious and relaxed fashion over scrubbed tabletops, while outside the setting sun nestled in a spectacular purple haze.
