Bright and curiously quite warm here right now. Beeb weather bloke says it is going to chuck it down from about midday. Ho humm.
Waverley only did the Tower/Whitstable run about twice a year. Back in the early 60s, however, the GSNC Cruise Ferries Royal Sovereign and Royal Daffodil used to do Tower Pier to Margate/Southend and other southern resorts. Favourite holiday trip for me was train (steam hauled) to Margate, have fun in Dreamland centre, ride in speedboat or flight in Percival Prentice from field outside town then back home on the Daffodil.
