We eventually headed off to Scotney Castle. We walked the grounds and I took lots of photos, using the tripod to get the best reflection shots of the ruins in the moat.
We treated ourselves to a light lunch at the castle before driving to Great Dixter to look at the gardens for the afternoon. Again, took lots of lots of photos. We found some swifts' nests in one of the barns and spent several minutes standing still and watching them fly in and out. A moment of pure joy.
Stopped off at Jempson Superstore on the way back to buy some biscuits, and then collapsed at the flat with a cup of tea.
While Sonia relaxed with her book, I decided to take advantage of the clear skies and headed out to take some photos in the evening sun.
After a quick snack back at the flat, we went to the Ship Inn for a game of dominos and a couple of beers (and rums).
