It was too late to visit any of Kent's attractions, so we took the opportunity to go to the Italian street market in Tunbridge Wells.
As usual, we spent far more on luxury foods than we'd ever do in a regular trip to the supermarket.

I'd heard that it was wet at Swanmead so I went down to have a look for myself. It is!
And to think we're supposed to be playing cricket before the month is out.

Waking up to snow this moring was a surprise.
It was a lovely day on Saturday when we cut the lawn for the first time this year. In fact, we were shaking our heads at the weather that caused the Sunderland v Fulham match to be abandoned.

Made me think of Hogwarts.
In case you're wavering about buying a ticket to see Alex Horne, I'd say go for it.

I knew about the Guinea Pig Club at the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead.
However, I had no idea there were so many members (649).

After spending 2 weeks travelling around with a boot full of plastic bottles, we finally located a place where they can be recycled.
Well done, Hurst Green
Update
Good news! Tonbridge has its own collection point in Sainsbury's car park for recycling plastic bottles.
