Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZbin video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

What a great video! I passed through Whitstable last year while I was on bike tour. It had a lovely peaceful vibe. The reason so many people are getting food poisoning from the oysters is because of Southern Water illegally dumping raw sewage into the sea simply to save money: one of those places being Swalecliffe, very near to Whitstable. I saw an article about this last month. The fish and chips look nice! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. I'm wondering whether you've been to the Isle of Sheppey. I went there too.

Glad you had a lovely dry day in Whitstable - I haven't been in 20 years or more but it hasn't changed much by the look of it! I was going to say I was jealous of the fish and chips but after 25 years of packed commuter trains to London I'm far more jealous of the empty train carriage😂

[@Isleofskye]

It's certainly changed from my idyllic childhood in S E London where like many people from that area we left our Council accommodation and spent all Summer at our Caravan in Seasalter next to Whitstable but it really was an Olde World High Street with all individual shops and certainly no Iceland or Charity Shops for better or worse and they had the Annual Carnival where the streets were packed. Seems a different world from those 1960s and a lifetime away. :)

[@Malfie657]

@@Isleofskye You're right that the nature of the shops have totally changed but luckily not so many of the actual buildings are that new, at least not in Alanna's shots. Don't get me started on caravan holidays - the only affordable way to get a holiday until I was about 10 years old!

[@Isleofskye]

My Parents were the 3rd Caravan on a site called "Waldens" on the Seafront between Seasalter and Graveney/Faversham after the War. They used to go Hop Picking like many working-class Londoners. Our next site was a massive field with it's own Pub and only 12 caravans ( It now had 70 Mobile Homes) and Lady made Toffee Apples all day and it was next to the woods. Then we were the 3rd and 4th on a brand new site just 2 miles from Whitstable and our 2 caravans had a large area in the corner. Nowadays they are all crammed together. It was a 6 Berth with no water but it did not matter and we were there every weekend from the end of May, weather permitting and all 7 weeks of the summer school holidays (Dad only had 2 weeks and joined us then ). It was idyllic with Radio Caroline on but we had to come off in 1970 as they wanted us to get a newer caravan. 51 years on and I only live 45 minutes drive away in Bexley and I would have loved to have had a little bolthole there because although I have flown around 34 times, I hate it. :)

[@tobeytransport2802]

@@Isleofskye I can, as a local (my dads side of family has lived in faversham since time immemorial while my mums side in Kent generally since 1920s) tell you that many shops in whitstable are independent shops but they are a bit posh and tend to cater to posh people coming from London :)

[@Isleofskye]

Firstly T T is time immemorial before the year dot, so I can get a timescale on things? :) Do you know these caravan sites that we used to stay on, my friend? Post War: " Wardens of Seasalter" near The Sportsman Pub. THen from The Mid 1950's "The Four Horseshoes" in Graveney and then "The Applegarth " at Seasalter Lane from 1062-1970 ? Wonderfully, idyllic days :)

[@DaveBartlett]

Traditionally, "The 'R' Rule" says that oysters should only be eaten when there's an R in the month, (i.e. between September and April) since the warmer months of May through to August are when the 'Red Tides' occur, that cause much higher than normal bacteria levels in the sea, so you can never be sure how edible and safely digestible the oysters really are. Basically if people have been going down with vomiting and diarrhoea after eating oysters recently, then they have only themselves to blame. (I would add to that: personally I believe that if you eat anything that a) looks like snot, b) is raw and c) is most probably alive when you eat it, then you ought to be more suprised if you DON'T get vomiting and diarrhoea!)

[@PeterWasted]

Agreed. I was surprised to see them being sold. Maybe the import them in the summer months?

Oysters: Ancient tradition "only eat oysters in months whose name contains the letter 'r' '. This rule is because warmer weather causes more bacteria, etc to grow. September to April are the cooler months in northern hemisphere, July in UK has been hotter than usual, therefore the oysters (& shellfish, crustaceans) are not ideal. Strangely, as I'm in southern hemisphere, our rule in Sydney, Australia happens to be the opposite, we should avoid oysters in the months containing the letter 'r' !!!

I visited Deal castle on a school trip many years ago. Our teachers arranged a night out for us at a nightclub in Margate. We were the only people there and one of the acts was a drag artist. Me and my mates were arguing about whether he was male or female and our suspicions were confirmed when we saw him go into the gents. The experience was a bit confusing for us as we were ten at the time. The village of Tyneham in Dorset is worth a visit. It was evacuated because the Allies wanted to prepare for D-day in that area and the villagers were promised the right to return after the war. That promise wasn't kept and what you see is a ghost town.

Still dangerous to walk off the roads as old live mines in the area surrounding the village and MOD property, permission has to be granted to enter. Which the Bus rally has.

Finally, if you like historical buildings, you should visit my home town of Sandwich. I no longer live in Kent so I feel nostalgic and a bit jealous!

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea." Excellent to see you out and about again, especially at a beach.

You're totally right!

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Your not quite right about not being far from the beach. However, I live in middle England and it’s midway between Cardiff and Gt Yarmouth, both take 2 hrs 50mins traffic permitting. It take 3 plus hours to get to Whitstable.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@grahamsibbert2412 Going roughly from where I estimate you live, there are beaches closer to you than the ones you mention. King's Lynn for one, possibly Clacton too but I'm not so sure on that one. I live a little north of you in middle England and it's only two hours to Skegness. I suspect that might also be closer for you but obviously it depends on your exact location, which I don't expect you to divulge. The furthest settlement from a UK coast is fairly closely to my location. That's 70 miles from a coast. I'll give you that coast doesn't always equal beach but a beach isn't going to be far away. Even so, none of the times/distances mentioned are that far when compared to some other countries, especially Alanna's origin of Canada. :-)

[@kathrynnordstrom5604]

@@grahamsibbert2412 I have read that there is nowhere in England that is more than 80 miles from the sea. Whether it takes 5 hours or 2 is relevant but consider for some, the seaside could be thousands of miles away & they never experience it in their lives !

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Elwaves. You really need to check your maps. Kings Lynn is not a coastal town with North Sea beach’s, it’s just on the mouth of the river Gt Ouse. Ok so it’s tidal and like London the Thames is tidal which means that any where the waters are tidal they are classed as coastal, this makes London a coast town right the way west inland to Teddington. A small town in Kent on the Medway named Wateringbury is tidal also so that is a coastal village. No. Where I live we are way beyond 80 miles from the coast. Clacton is exactly 119 miles away.

Several of those are not 'traditional British delicacies'. Jellied eels for example are only a SE England thing and mainly disliked. The others vary in availability depending on the coast/place visited.

Yet speak into the same microphone when my family are listening and I get tongue tied and stammer hopelessly But that doesn’t mean you getting all bashful being seen videoing yourself in the streets of Whitstable isn’t funny!

@@AdventuresAndNaps I enjoyed that but b4 people started going abroad in The 1960's it used to be packed solid with holidaymakers, mostly from South London and mostly staying caravans which were massive Business in those days but, sadly, most English Southern Coastal Towns have fallen victim to the natural desire to "guarantee" the sun in Spain, Italy, Portugal etc... That High Street was ALL individual shops in The 1960's with 4 local Butcher Shops and you could buy everything Pre Supermarkets.

100,000 _known_ people. How many unknown?

Cracking funbags

Glad you enjoyed Whitstable. V.C Jones is great for good old-fashioned Fish and Chips. Ozzies do incredible Southern Fried Wedges. They have a branch on Faversham High Street too.

Alanna, I really like it when you visit various town/villages. I have been to England a few times but have not been South East - your channel has now got me thinking that I will be including the Kent area in my next visit. Thank you for sharing this with us (....now I want fish & chips!)

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks for watching!

[@John-wu2mn]

I didn’t realise how chesty you are…

[@alant84]

You're lucky you managed to eat without seagulls stealing everything.

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

We had to fight off a few birds 💪🏻

[@dave_h_8742]

Had a guy pecked & blood drawn by big seagulls attacking people in the Liverpool area.

[@grantparman4705]

What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks for watching!

[@clairechater]

Weatherboard cladding on the fishermen’s huts is a typical traditional Kentish feature, so nice to see they have been restored for new use!

[@srspower]

Like a sexy cross between harry potter and katy price :)

You're not a foreigner. You've been in the UK longer than some people have been on this earth. You pay UK taxes etc so you're a honorary native.

[@Elwaves2925]

And we all know what Brits do to natives.... ....we invite them in for a cuppa. ;-)

Fond memories of my teenage years in Canterbury and Whitstable. Come up in the World since then!!

[@jamesslingsby6207]

I love the background music you added to this video - it worked well

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thank you!

Amazing rack

[@roddmatsui3554]

Your thumbnail image is inviting, but the text reads “don’t eat the oysters”, so I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance here. ❤️

[@bigal3055]

You need to be careful with some of the bearded clams too. If it smells of fish flavoured cat food, walk away.

[@ashofthe3yamyamsa.k.aasher675]

Another place to add to list of places to visit. Even on a not so sunny day looks great, though I do find something soothing about a mist rolling in either over water or a field. I'm all for taking a train places aswell. I just love sitting back watching the world go by & plus we have some great scenery in the Uk, that & you don't have to worry if you can have one more drink or not. Another great video, really chill which id what I needed thank you

[@ianz9916]

My cat was glued to this video. She sat staring at it right until the end and when it finished she got up and went to have a lie down.

[@catguy4996]

Cute!

[@edwardmoore2739]

I wonder why this video has so many more views than your others 👀

[@sivikasi]

Thanks for a great video. It reminded me how much I love getting to the sea…and fish and chips 😀

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Isleofskye]

You would be amazed how many S E Londoners moved from Inner London in The 1970's/1980's and now have taken another step to Whitstable and the surrounding coastal towns. It's certainly changed from my idyllic childhood in S E London where like many people from that area we left our Council accommodation and spent all Summer at our Caravan in Seasalter next to Whitstable but it really was an Olde World High Street with all individual shops and certainly no Iceland or Charity Shops for better or worse and they had the Annual Carnival where the streets were packed. Seems a different world from those 1960s and a lifetime away. :)

[@saintgeorge6706]

We went to Ramsgate yesterday and had fish & chips. It was bloody lovely. God bless you Alanna. I could watch you all day.

[@fredMplanenut]

Wow, so few people. Caught you both in the shop window. Glad you had a nice day.

[@Bluedex2011]

It was great to see your day trip to Whitstable, the train looked pretty empty on the ride there. The town looks like a really chilled place to visit, and seeing you try the fish and chips made me super hungry - I could almost smell the salt and vinegar 😊. I hope the sun shines the next time you visit 🌞.

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thank you so much!

[@johnturner8383]

Best video. Hope you enjoyed the day..

[@michaelshelton462]

Love your out and abouts!! After you do one I hop on Google maps and start exploring! Thanks Alanna!

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Awesome! Thanks so much!
