Kent hike

This will probably be the last blog for a while, because I soon will be off to celebrate Kate's wedding and I probably won't have a lot of time to blog in between!

So, I leave you for a while with some beautiful pictures from our most recent country walk.
A forest of bluebells:

A gnarly tree:

IN front of the aptly named Carpenter's Arms:

The road leading to Churchill's house (we never actually saw CHurchill's house because there were tons of people there and also it involved walking down a hill that we didn't want to walk back up again):

Jim sits on a bench commemerating a lady who preserved the area we were in:

Throughout our walk we heard something that sounded like someone cutting a tin can with a bowie knife...and it turned out to be: pheasants!
Here is a picture of one that Jim tried to scare out of the field by jumping around and making monkey sounds. Just as he did this, two runners came out of nowhere. You can add that to the list of things that the English think Americans are--nutters.

We love daylight savings time! We walked about 15 miles total, missed our train, and it was still daylight when we got home!
