Today was hiking day. We ate brunch at Jerome’s and Janet’s (our baguettes) and hiked around the golf course to the Wheatsheaf pub in bough Beech. It was a beautiful day–bright and sunny. We stopped for J2O for KK, ale and beer for Jerome and me, and wine for Janet. Then more hiking to Chiddingstone […]
