Return to Sevenoaks

---

17th July

Went back to Sevenoaks today. Drove straight to Copper Beech. It's all done up now. Paddy's old gargage is now a room and theres a new double garage beside the end of the house. All the trees have been chopped back and the place is very different from 12 years ago.

Had a wander through Knole Park - didn't bother taking the boys through Knole house. You can't run around nor kick a ball so we stuck to the park. Deer everywhere. So they all started to pretend to shoot. Gareth included.

On the way home we came across a Berry Farm so we picked 4 pounds of raspberries. They now think I'm making jam. Blake was quiet proud of himself - he only ate 1. The others were less controlled. Beautiful raspberries, they're really sweet.

Planning to go to Hythe tomorrow an catching a train to Dungeness for fish and chips at the pub.

Didn't take the camera today - forgot it. Sorry.
