Sheppey - 10th September 2011


A day on the island, 4-0 and 1-1 against Range Rovers so a good start to the day, new socks and shorts seemed to have made a difference!


Fossil hunting on Warden Bay beach turned up a Shark's Tooth and loads of fossilised shells with a few crystals to boot.

Most time spent exploring the 'fallen' pill boxes on the beach - shows how quick the coast is eroding in this part of Kent.



Then onto Shurland Hall, where Henry VIII spend his honeymoon with Anne Boleyn - James wanteds to live there it but it'd take more than a Lottery win to get this pad (see sales particulars here: Shurland Hall)
