Away from the Big Smoke

Other than my two days in London, the rest of the time was spent pottering around the family seat in deepest darkest Sussex…venturing out only to visit such exciting places as....

Batemans, home of Rudyard Kipling




And The House at Pooh Corner – surely that needs no explanation


And playing Pooh Sticks at Pooh Bridge...





Some friends of mine came to visit on my last weekend in England so I showed them around the village (actually more of a hamlet)...

The local church




The Local Pub (most important!)


The War Memorial


Sporting pursuits in the back garden! 9 holes of Pitch and Putt golf... and a spot of archery



After purchasing golf balls here!!!!!
