Oysters and Swans

I doubt that we'll be fishing for things to do, but if looking for a change of pace and a bit of time near the water there are options!

Whitstable will be hosting their annual Oyster festival the week I arrive. The even purposely coincides with St. James Day, he being the patron saint of oysters and oyster fisheries. I had no idea such a thing needed a patron saint!


And if we need to practice our maths we could always go and count swans!

"The Dyers and Vintner's Companies have the right, established in medieval times, to keep swans on the Thames River. Every year the Queen's Swan Keeper and Swan Markers from the two livery companies row in skiffs along the river to mark the cygnets (baby swans)."

Oh the possibilities! ;)
