I hate to talk about weather as it’s just sooo English but sometimes nothing else quite does the job. What happened to summer? Why is the sun still out with only 75 eating days till Christmas? Where’s the misery we love so much? Well?? I only ask as I’ve just had two weeks off and have counted this as my summer break despite the fact that it was October. Another great English tradition is that of remembering holidays over-fondly. Rose tinted fortnights; we’ve all had them. I’m sure this condition develops over time so I’m committing to paper now so no future accusations can be packed off in my direction. I walked into Oscar Road Cafe on day 5 of my leave and thereafter the subsequent days have gone from my memory. It was an amazingly sunny afternoon when I first placed my flip-flopped foot in their tiny, almost secret, garden. 6 tables, 15 chairs and 1 big smiley sun. I could have been anywhere in the world but I was lucky enough to be in Broadstairs. I’d admired various cakes and sweet treats en route outside but I was here for one thing and nothing was going to distract me from my goal. The Oscar Road lobster roll is a thing of legend. It is also, I found out, a thing of great beauty. I’d intended to take a photo for this review but once it was put in front of me I could think of nothing else but eating it. It came with a handful of top quality crisps and a small salad bathing in just the right amount of dressing. The roll itself spilled quality lobster meat from every possible point. It tasted perfect. An exquisite texture coupled with an immense flavour. You’ll get little change from a tenner, but with the exchange rate so bad why not join me next year for a fortnight in the garden at Oscar Road. We can talk about the weather.

Is a blog a vehicle to show off, or a serious comment?
Not so sure about the teeth marks!
How exactly is this showing off? My aim is for people, including myself, to enjoy the writing.
Sounds and looks good to me and I enjoyed reading
