Ightham Mote. Kent.
This evening I look back to last Friday.
Ashley went to London on his own and Bill and I and Ekatarina went to Ightham Mote - a National Trust house that I had wanted to visit.
Here are some of our pictures - I am sure they might entice others to visit this lovely place too.
This was our first view of the house.
Ightham Mote is Medieval - a square building, surrounding a courtyard.
The gardens were lovely - a mixture of formal and informal.
The curly whirly tree.
We will certainly visit Ightham Mote again - it's just beyond Sevenoaks.
Thank you to people who reminded me that the blue flower in the Wiltshire garden is an agapanthus.

Bill is good at spotting the unusual view.
The entrance to the courtyard is over this bridge.
I love the way the old glass slightly distorts.
On the right is the 19th century dog kennel - the only Grade One Listed kennel in the country.
It is big; built for a St. Bernard dog.
The gardens were lovely - a mixture of formal and informal.
The memory stick. You could have a stick and a sturdy elastic band, which could be used to secure bits and pieces found on the ground - no picking things, of course.
