Strange Solace

She said the old gate over Broadstairs was a time slip back to 1968 but that didn’t seem right. 

It looked more like 1950 when I went through it. I could tell by the style of the clothes. And because the cafe sign said ‘Luncheon’. 

I popped in for a luncheon but I wasn’t keen on the devilled egg sandwich, but the Victoria Sponge was divine. 

Oh, and everything was in black and white, which seemed a bit strange because I thought technicolour had been invented by then.
