My Last Weekend in UK

Well a week ago I was spending my last two days in London hanging out with a good friend and going to visit the British Museum and National Portrait again. The rest wasn't planed.

Well later on that day I was flying of back to NZ. This has been an inspiring 10 months and I am so stoked to have experienced this. It has certainly opened my eyes to some of the world. Maybe one day in the future I will visit UK again. Well in the meantime its NZ and continually look out for my blogs which will be NZ related travels.

Kent Countryside drive 31st Oct

Well to celebrate my birthday weekend a couple of friends and I went driving into the Kent countryside close to Maidstone. After making the decision on what direction we headed of feeling somewhat effected by the excess red wine the night before. The aim was to keep to the small roads but there were a couple of occasions that the A roads were used. It was a lovely Autumn day as we scooted through the tiny villages. But the red wine and map reading had taken its toll. I needed to get out of the back of the car pronto and smell the fresh air.

Our first stop was Scotney Castle. This lovely spot surrounded by established gardens and rolling fields of mushrooms. Wasn't long and the fresh air cured the ills of the red wine. My friends Mirna and Cathrine and I went for a bit of a forage for mushrooms and found ourselves entering the Castle grounds for free. Oops how did that happen. Oh well we are here anyway lets enjoy. We didn't even get questioned by the National Trust lady that was walking around. Shot!!
