It had been hot for a number of weeks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was in Folkestone <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Near the funicular railway<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was being being restored <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(the reason for my visit) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An abridged cafe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had also survived <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(unlike the burnt tea) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which haunted me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was very happy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the light was perfect <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spectacular Shoreline apartments <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(another reason for my visit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faced my station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sleek red car interrupted my thoughts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was driven by a well groomed man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the passenger seat sat a younger girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who I took to be his wife\/girlfriend or mistress <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there a place where one can get a cup of tea <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The cafe is behind us but I would not recommend it <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pretty grim then <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Very much <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you like a cup of tea Wendy <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As long it is warm and wet <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I was left alone with the girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n Who on closer study was obviously his daughter <\/p>\n\n\n\n She explained that the purpose of their visit <\/p>\n\n\n\n Was to inspect a number of the apartments<\/p>\n\n\n\n As she was soon to be married <\/p>\n\n\n\n And this was to be a wedding present <\/p>\n\n\n\n I already love the entrance <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so near to the beach<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I agreed and said how much I admired the complex <\/p>\n\n\n\n The eye is always busy and it uses its geography well <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But its main advantage is its use of light <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It has my approval despite its exposed position <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you live around here <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No I live in Richmond <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the pub that tilts <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I know it well <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Joe <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wendy <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you live in these apartments <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The lower ones as I have a problem with heights <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Same here <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not much fun <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But the views are magnificent <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n One can see France on clear days <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The view is even better from The Leas <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daddy and I are planning to walk its promenade<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You will not be disappointed <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It had been hot for a number of weeks I was in Folkestone Near the funicular railway Which was being being restored (the reason for my visit) An abridged cafe Had also survived (unlike the burnt tea) Which haunted me I was very happy As the light was perfect The spectacular Shoreline apartments (another reason […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24464"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24465,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24464\/revisions\/24465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
