West Wickham, May 25, 26

 
We left the Cotswolds after another huge breakfast. We had hoped to walk on the wolds before we left, but it was raining. It took over 3 hours to get here. Driving here is not easy and Mark was pretty stiff-necked by the time we got here. We stopped in Purley at a Tesco's to get a bit to eat and some flowers and got quite turned around even trying to get in.
   Christine put on a fabulous family dinner for 12 people with a huge variety of foods including quiche, salmon, chicken, salads......Katrina, Paul, 8-year old Lewis, 4-year old Connor, Annie, Will, 10-year old Ewan and 6-year old Adam. It was a lovely evening - weather-wise and people-wise.
   The next day, Saturday, we went in 3 cars to Chartwell, the home of Winston Churchill. As we had been in the house not that long ago, and we had children, we opted to go in the grounds/garden only. We started with Katrina and family, plus Ewan. Annie, Will and Adam met us later. (Adam had cricket) The kids followed a trail to find things.
The weather was sunny and warm. It was a nice way to spend a day.
   Afterwards, we had another family dinner, eating in the garden. Another nice day.
