going local: little joys of everyday life
Ever feel like you want to go somewhere or do something fun, but you have no definitely plan or place in mind? Maybe just hop into your car and choose a little road that you haven’t explored before.
That is exactly what we did one afternoon, and ended up seeing a collection of fascinating things and places, beautiful views and a had some nice ice creams too!
First we spotted a steam engine – and believe me that made our little boy very excited (the road followed the tracks for a while and we also found the station for this train)
Then we spotted this – a search later confirmed that the 56ft obelisk is a memorial for a local landowner in the village of Bilsington in Kent (and right close to it there is also a 13th century church St Peter and St Paul
Pretty, old churches are everywhere, such as this St Michael & All Angels in Kingsnorth and the most charming little cottage next to it (photo below)
