We arrived in England (Sunday) just in time to see the Spanish getting kicked around the park by a bunch of Dutch thugs who had forgotten to take off their go faster clogs. Met up with the 'the old team' Chris/Laura, Phil/Jane at Rick and Caroline's where we stayed our first night. Thumped Phil at tennis 1 -1 the next day after discovering after the first humiliating 0-6 set, that he had smuggled in some pre-war (Crimea) tennis balls that lacked anything resembling a regular bounce.
Drove that afternoon down to Chris' wonderful 16th century converted barn near Canterbury in Kent. The countryside around here is stunning and cries out to be discovered by foot and Chris took us on a nearby walk past 13thC church, 16thC pub and *21stC forest sculptures!

Of all these we will return to the pub.
