East Grinstead and Seven Oaks

Today we went grocery shopping. Matt had some business at the church in East Grinstead and I went to see the town. It puportedly has the best preserved continuous high street from the Late Middle Ages in all of England and a church with a beautiful interior. So I explored. We made a stop at the local Sainsbury's before heading back to Edenbridge and then turned around and headed to Seven Oaks because Sainsbury's there was the only store with the kind of formula the baby needed. Returning home I made a pot of lentil soup.

I do love a bit of grocery shopping, especially when the trip involves architecture, beautiful countryside, Cadbury's, custard, and every good thing. That's all for now.

I'd grocery shop every day if it were in a down like that. Sigh.
