13:32:53 Where to bring lunch for Royal Mail workers, presumably. | 13:33:46 Lots of nice buildings in Sandwich - I'm a big fan of overhangs. | 13:34:07 This is apparently Tom Paine's cottage. | 13:53:55 |
14:06:05 | 14:29:21 In a meadow, where we sat and watched the ducks for a short while. | 14:30:10 | 14:32:28 I was particularly taken by this house, dated 1513 - just a couple of years shy of being 500 years old. That's half a millenium. |
14:33:42 Taking in the scent of the wisteria, there seemed to be a lot of it in Sandwich. | 14:34:36 The Old Drum, presumably once a public house? Dating back to 1450 apparently - quite amazing. | 15:12:10 At the tearoom at the Salutation (the Secret Gardens of Sandwich now) - here's Leon and Aiko-chan. | 15:12:16 This is a rather nice shot. |
15:22:11 The girls and our rather huge afternoon tea stands. | 15:22:51 | 15:22:56 Yukari-san, Aiko-chan, and some sandwiches, scones and cakes. | 15:55:08 The teapots were far too small, so we had to keep asking for hot water, which they brought out in these rather ridiculously small jugs. So we built up rather a collection by the end. |
16:45:14 A post-tea stroll - one of the churches in Sandwich. | 16:45:22 An old fire cart. | 16:49:08 The house we saw earlier - I think £375,000 is a pretty good price for something half a millenium old. (Also I think my picture is better than the estate agents!) | 16:50:09 |
16:52:57 A selection of little alleyways in Sandwich... | 16:53:12 The old town gaol. | 16:53:20 | 16:58:12 We were trying to figure out why these three carrier bags were tied to the guttering here - our best theory was to scare off pigeons. |
