Having A Butchers At Faversham

We decided it was time for another trip today and were in a celebratory mood as my brother has had one of his photographs selected for the online gallery for a street photography magazine called Framelines. He's really delighted that his image got chosen after entering his pictures on numerous occasions. I'm so happy for him. It's very well deserved and I'm a very proud brother!
For our trip we decided to venture to Faversham, after our aborted attempt a few days ago. Thankfully the weather could not have been more different this time with incessant downpours replaced with glorious sunshine and blue skies.
Our journey there was smooth and thankfully not interrupted by too many roadworks. Once we had arrived and parked the car we headed across the town to Standard Quay. It's the town's former commercial port which sits on the River Medway and has been sympathetically regenerated to protect its historic architecture (as you can see in my third extra).
You can now enjoy bracing walks along the quayside with the accompaniment of an eclectic mix of shops, including a dog health and nutrition outlet, antique stores, a tool emporium and a fitness studio, and places to eat and drink whilst it still provides moorings for a multitude of waterborne craft.
My main image and my first extra are just of two of the wonderfully characterful wheelhouses of some of the craft currently moored at the quay. I loved the seahorse, the fish and the little sailing boat in the windows in my main image with the view through them and the reflections of the sky and clouds, whilst the first extra caught my eye due to the diminutive disco ball hanging from the other's ceiling.
My second extra is of a lady and her two canine companions who appeared to be slightly forlorn at arriving late for the weekend mega sale at the quayside butchers. There was just something I liked about the combination of them standing in the doorway with the black wooden slatted outside walls, the green corrugated iron roof and the sign.
We thoroughly enjoyed our traversement of Standard Quay but as we had missed out on breakfast we were now in need of some pint and crisps based sustenance and settled on frequenting the centuries old Anchor Inn just off the quayside where we ensconced ourselves in the pub's snug surrounded by boating and sailing paraphernalia and historic images of the quay. 
Suitably refreshed and crisp indulged we then headed back into the town and along the High Street, where I came across my last image of the cheery chappie advertising another local butcher's midweek (and weekend) specials, before setting off for home.
The title of today's blip comes from the fact that three of my images rather randomly include butcher's shops or signs and that "having a butchers" in Cockney rhyming slang (butcher's hook) means to have a look.
We had a lovely time looking around Faversham and intend to return again soon to explore it further.
