Folkestone is one of our favourite towns within an easy drive of
Thanet, reasonably good for bookbuying, art galleries, and shopping.
It's the shopping side that really makes the difference, if you have children and young adults with you as the normal chain shops form part of their leisure day, a bit like some watercolour painting forms part of my day.
I bought three Rupert Annuals, 1947, 1948 and 1949, these were still wartime economy editions so paperbacks that now sell in the £15 to £100 ball park, depending on the condition they are in.

hard to find in dust jacket without the cut outs, cut out.
Part of today's books to keep Michael's Bookshop, where I work, here in Ramsgate stocked up

I did a bit more to my watercolour painting of Folkestone, while enjoying a late breakfast at Chocolate Cafe.
