Ightham Mote in Kent is well worth a visit, the last owner was a man called Charles Henry Robinson who was a direct descendant of a pilgrim who travelled to New England on the Mayflower, if it wasn't for him buying it then it may now be a pile of rubble.
Chartwell
I visited Chartwell some 18 years ago and felt the need to go back, all the 50th aniversary news of Winston Churchills death in the media reminded me how much I like Kent as a county. It was a freezing cold day but I was not disappointed, the house although not grand given the importance of Churchill was welcoming and friendly, with lots of great recent history.

Cass Sculpture Foundation
Cass Sculpture Park in Goodwood West Sussex is one of the most stunning setting's that I have visited. The owner Mr Wilfred Cass who is in his nineties is a very interesting and clever man, he has had a great life that is recorded in his book called 'Here comes Mr Cass', which can be bought from the foundation.
The last of Hannah Peschar Sculpture garden
Here are the last of my photographs of the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden, maybe it will entice you to visit over this bank holiday weekend. Enjoy the three days whatever you do. I will be gardening, sewing, eating, sleeping, reading and generally keeping out of the way of the masses and the traffic.
