Wild garlic flowers in the woods near Ightham Mote in Kent.

Kent countryside

We went strolling in the Kent countryside today – in and around Ightham Mote. This is the best preserved moated manor house in England.

Chartwell

Lovely sunny day in SE England today, so the tressillians decided to trip out into the Kent countryside. This is a shot from the garden of Chartwell House (residence of Winston Churchill) in the late afternoon (actually 3 o’clock). Not my best shot, I know, as I forgot my camera was set to 1,600 ISO (therefore grainy pictures) and my sensor needs a good clean (therefore black smudges on the picture). Never mind – I thought the sky looked good – so I under exposed the shot by almost 2 stops to capture the drama.
