Holiday in Kent - Monday 17/10/11

Sissinghurst.
This was the primary objective for Joan. We had been with my Mum and Dad many years ago but although Joan and Ken have holidayed in this area it was always just too far away.
We three went for a walk so that Joan could examine the plants without us pushing her along.
My favorite room was a library which actually contained books that I have read. It was a comfortable if a bit scruffy room. Strangely only now are they cataloguing the books, at least on a computer.
The wind at the top of the tower was quite bracing but the view was worth it.
We had lunch from the new restaurant. Only sandwiches and soup on a table outside but there is a feeling of quality.
We drove back via Rye although we were not allowed on the most obvious road. We did some driving blind into dips in the road under the trees against the sun. It was a bit worrying.
