Dear All Greetings! I thought I'd write a blog entry about a lovely day trip I did from London. I had not long arrived home after an amazing trip to New England USA, when my travel feet continued to itch and I was ready to do a bit more exploring again. This time I planned a little trip I'd been thinking about for a while now, ever since I watched the film "Pocahontas" when it came out in the 1990s really, but my plans developed more recently to include some really quite lovely places nearby.

by justino We love to spend time in England with our British family. This trip was one of the best ever spending so many hours in Anna and Garrick's country home in Kent drinking tea, drinking wine, sitting in the hottub, and catching up with some of our favorite people in the world.... read more
