Lottie woke Van-Man at 6.30 because she needed the
toilet but I remained asleep until he woke me with a cup of coffee. It was cool
but clear but by the time we left the campsite for the last time the sun had raised
the temperature into double figures.

We headed to Richborough Roman Fort just outside Sandwich
and arrived before they opened at10.00. We parked next to a wide green space
and walked Lottie around it on the lead before heading into the site.

Within minutes of entering the Roman Fort Lottie
snapped at something hidden in the long grass. Van-Man pulled her back, but she
must have been stung by the bumble bee on the ground. She shook her head then
ate large quantities of grass as we wandered through the Roman fort. Eventually
she was sick and Van-Man had to clean up the mess. I guess that was a dog’s way
of getting poison out of her system and it seemed to be effective because
afterwards she lay contentedly on the grass while we had lunch.
We had a pleasant drive home bypassing Canterbury
and its traffic jams. I drove the middle part of the journey and had no trouble
with the gears.

Lottie relaxed on the way home and suffered no
further effects from the sting in the mouth.
