An Afternoon at the River

Thursday we stayed close to home again. Because I get itchy feet, I headed to the village on a little three-mile walk. I revisited the Parish Church because I recently learned that one of the windows was designed by Edward Burne-Jones and that the pulpit dates back to Jacobean times. I spent some time near the river and had a pleasant rest on a bench by the bank. The blackberries are ripe, the conkers are starting to fall, the day was a beautiful and rain-free, and I enjoyed what Edenbridge has to offer.

This is the kind of day in England Aunt Vic loves. I love the city, but I love this just as much. That's all for now.
