In the annals of literature, Deal has not been viewed too kindly. A Regency travel book described the town as “a villainous place filled with filthy looking people.” A century or so before, the diarist Samuel Pepys called Deal “pitiful.” Well. We enjoyed our walk in a delightful part of the old town Pepys must have missed. Especially when the sun quite unexpectedly took a shine to us.
Some of the smaller streets and alleys were cobbled and the houses at least two hundred years old. With Kate in her stroller, we spent a pleasant hour zigzagging from the high street hubbub down to those quieter, more picturesque alleys and turnings, before finding ourselves back on the front looking out at the emerald-gray sea.

it sounds like a charming place! Pictures- we need pictures!
I second Maggie's request. What a tease!
Can i be third in motion for maggie? XD just like i did in the beaches in phils check it.
What ever happened to imagination? Actually, we don't seem to have photos of Deal--we were doing a lot of quick escapes from the house (for reasons that will be apparent to anyone reading the book!)and guess we didn't stop to grab the camera...
Sounds like a nice place to visit. Some of the pictures I viewed online were quite pretty with pastel colored houses lined up along the beach.
Maybe I'll visit again some day and see more than just London and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
That sounds like a really nice place. Hope I can go some day!
