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!!
