An early arrival at Tegal, a warm goodbye with many thanks for a great time in Berlin and then I left for Deal, UK.
I carried my backpack in the black bag to protect the straps until I got so fed up I just put it on! What a relief, it is so much easier to wear the pack. There were issues with the trains so we didn’t arrive at St Pancras as expected but we were able to use the underground anyway and I caught the train to Faversham without further problem to meet Kathleen at her upholstery class.
Kathleen has a beautiful home overlooking the English Channel. It is in a lovely garden in a very quaint area Deal in Kent.
Her chair is gorgeous and so original. It was an interesting time learning about the process. I felt quite inspired. She goes to the Creative studios which has all sorts of crafts as well as working artists. A very inspiring place.
We talked a lot last night over dinner at one of the local pubs and both were pretty tired.

Dear Kathryn, I just read your blog. It’s really nice what you write and also your photos – just great. I am so happy that you and Wendy had a nice and interesting time in Berlin. For me it was something very special and I am very happy that the fate has brought us together and that I have you as a friend. I wish you an exciting time in Europe and hope to see you again soon. Your friend Katharina
