The amazingly diverse county that is Kent! Castles, cliffs, Canterbury...and Whitstable. A charming seaside community of some beauty. Quaint...yes...boring never. One only needs to wander down the shingles and over the groynes to the Old Neptune or "Old Neppy" to those in the know, to partake in a pint or four and a rousing knees-up to one of the many bands that get the place jumping. A fabulously mad construction, it stands out on the shore, weathering all attempts of storms to blow it down, a beacon to the libation of Neptune himself. Its proximity to the village centre makes it a great place to whet the whistle before a short stroll to the many renowned seafood restaurants along the harbour. You simply can't beat the voluptuous and milky oysters that Whitstable is so well known for. Many partake of these pearly wonders with a sparkling, fruity Champagne but, I prefer an ice cold shot of Vodka for this pleasure... the exciting Jewel of Russia Classic turned out to be the perfect choice; clean, smooth and delicious...and so versatile. One can also enjoy it with caviar!
