1 August 2010 Fields of Penshurst

Friends in London invited us to explore Kent with them this weekend, and so we took 3 trains to arrive at Leigh (sounds like Lye) and then set off on a 6-mile walk which took us past a castle, a village, a few streams, cows, sheep, oast houses, and fields and fields of tall, stiff wheat stalks wavering in crushed rows.

It was beautiful. And the countryside is so different from Sussex and the South Downs. I love that about England: it takes only three short train rides to land in a new environment.

More pictures and story tomorrow!
