As you can see I am now back from my long weekend.  I hadn’t planned on another holiday quite so soon after my last one, but after I reviewed Christopher Lloyd’s previous book he commented on my blog and sent me tickets to the launch of his new book.  I thought it was too good an opportunity to miss.  I shall give you a properly detailed account of the event later this week when I have time to write it up properly.

Then I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to catch up with relatives who have moved down south and make a long weekend of it.  We made full use of the time (and good weather) and visited several interesting places; Ightham Mote, Knole, Chartwell (home of Churchill) and Down House (home of Darwin).  I am sure you have guessed I took loads of photographs, which  I have spent this morning sorting out.  I didn’t forget to have a bit of a lie in first though ;-)

      Yes and sadly I didn’t get the chance to explore the park. It started to rain as soon as I cam out of the house. Never mind it is a good excuse to go back ;-)

      Saw plenty of deer and they are much more tame than anywhere else I have visited.

    Yeah. You see, once upon a time I taught them that standing on their hind legs they would get a reward/treat, and since they think all visitors are as kind as this very German gentlemen.

    OOh, great stuff, Cherie! Am looking forward to seeing something of Ightham Mote in particular. I always wanted to visit it during all those years in the south-east, but never made it. Congratulations on having impressed Mr Lloyd, too – means you met or even surpassed extremely high standards (good for both of you!).
