Green
Although Wednesday was our anniversary we celebrated yesterday. We couldn't resist a quick defile of a virgin cache even though it was in the opposite direction to where we were planning to go.
We spent a good part of the day at Bedgebury Pinetum - somewhere I'd been as a young lass but not since. I was worried a load of conifers would be a bit dull but it wasn't. Adam & I spent a lot of time sitting on benches in various parts of the pinetum taking in the vistas and marveling at how many shades of green there are. We bought a Pinus Strobus 'Minima' (scroll down) for the garden.
We had a bit of time to spare so we trundled off across the border (the Kent/Sussex one that is) to somewhere I'd never been - Bewl Water. When we got there, we wondered why the cars ahead of us were turning round and coming back, then we found out why - admission charge £5 per car. No thanks, we pay Southern Water enough money as it is. So, we settled for a meandering drive back home though the country lanes.
In the evening, we ate an excellent meal at Mediterrano - quite possibly the best restaurant in town (which isn't difficult). Oh, and we managed to spare a couple of minutes yesterday to vote too.
