• Weekend in Kent

    May 23–25, 2025 in England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Arrived in Eastry near Sandwich to spend the weekend with my cousin Matt and his beautiful wife, Charlotte. I last saw Matt and Charlotte in London before they were married. We had lunch at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant across from St Paul’s cathedral.

    They have moved into an amazing house in Eastry which is older than Australia being discovered by Captain Cook. It is a ‘listed’ house. Very well renovated and welcoming. Love being here.

    We had a beautiful dinner on Friday night that Charlotte cooked for us. It was so nice to have a home cooked meal for a change.

    Saturday we spent the morning in a village called Deal and went to the markets with Charlotte. Bought some pies for lunch and scoped out some lovely local shops.

    After lunch we went tramping in a local forest and then a lovely county drive through Sandwich and then back home. Off to dinner to a local.
