here are some pictures of my trip to Kent . South of London to visit a friends, mother-in-law. A very sprightly 83 year old in her flash car. Narrow english roads are no barrier in a car like this.

Also some images of her garden and her house. there was a bird feeder with young blue tits and a woodpecker who came to visit just outside the breakfast window.


You can see me as a ghostly image in the window

Then off for some stately home action. This is the home of the young Anne Bolyn including a bed of Henry the 8th

A giant Yew hedge for us girls to wonder about

Inside the kitchen of Blickling Hall just near Norfolk. I love the details of the kitchen without the theme park looks of some of the rooms with on over abundance of antiques etc.

I want the job of polishing these beautiful copper pots.

My trip to England was full of highs and lows. I miss my sister already and Richard in his frail condition. I am back home now and the weather is very wintery and cold. I have cooked for the masses,sewed up a storm, visited a very unwell Matcham, dug my garden and weeded and whipper snipped to get the sweeping therapy really going. It is also good to be home with my family again
