Well, I still have a head cold but I managed to get a few hours sleep this morning, which helped get me through the day. Mother and I went up to see Richborough Roman Fort. It was mother's first opportunity to see actual Roman ruins, but they're mostly just foundations. It was very quiet and tranquil though. I hiked over to the amphitheater, which is just grass on top of a hill, no foundations or anything. I laid me down in the green grass of England and took some pictures of nearby cows.
We then went down into Sandwich, had lunch and spent a couple of hours in the Secret Garden. One of the main reasons for doing this trip was so that mother could tour some actual English gardens. We're hoping to do Sissinghurst Garden on Sunday, but the rains came in late this afternoon, and it may rain on and off all weekend. Oh well. On to Canterbury tomorrow and London on Saturday, where we will be doing the London tour with Edouard. Til then, as the locals say, Cheers!

The photos look very relaxing. It reminds of an English countryside. Oh wait, it is.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! Can't wait to see more photos.
ReplyDeleteStiff upper lip! Photos are beautiful. I remember touring Oxford while Jim stayed in our room with a nasty cold low those many years ago (1980?)
