Wedding Anniversary , Brogdale and Abbey Physic Community Garden

 Ian and I came back  from Festival of Quilts on Sunday  and  after a big food shop on Monday  we headed  to 'The Yard'  in Faversham  for lunch  to celebrate  our 13th wedding anniversary.  We're wearing our  new wedding rings (inscribed  on the insides) -  after both losing weight over the last few months, our existing ones kept  falling off ( I'm now wearing them on my right hand)  Having lost rings once already , I didn't want to lose the second  set!  

 Ian had the cheese board I had a barley, squash  and blueberry salad. Delicious!

 Our friends Jan and Bob  came to Faversham to spend a few days.  We visited Brogdale  on Tuesday  ( we've only made it as far as the shop  so far on one of our walks to Painters Forstal) and had a very informative  guided walk  through the orchards ( with tastings along the way)  

 It was great to see the  weather station where the highest ever temperature in the UK was recorded.  

 The fruit on the trees and fallen  beneath were so colourful, it made you realise how quickly they  fade once picked and in the shops

The following morning  we visited  the Abbey Physic Community  Garden, one of my favourite places in Faversham  then showed them so of the historic buildings.

In the  afternoon  while Bob and Ian went on a tour of the brewery ,  Jan and I   sat at home stitching and catching up . A lovely few days.
