Pub Lunch

Monday Matt and Kim thought that lunch at The Spotted Dog Pub would be a good remedy for cabin fever. The pub sits on the side of a ridge along the bottom of the Weald of Kent. The view north is toward Penshurst Place, the house with the very fine original great hall with hammer-beam ceiling. So we hopped in two cars and headed south and then east from Edenbridge. Kent is so beautiful it makes my heart hurt. The view of fields, forests, and vistas is incredible. Pictures do not do it justice.

 The tunnel-like Kent roads are wonderful

 A delicious meal

 Baked Camanbert with sweet chili jam: wonderful

 Very fine fish and chips

 Lamb with mash

 Banoffee cheescake: exquisite

This was a really fun outing. We finished the day with some pulled pork sandwiches and a screening of A Knights Tale.

That's all for now.
