Weekend away.

James and I went on a church ‘weekend away’ at Ashburnham Place this last weekend. It felt like the first time in a long while that we’ve been able to just stop and relax. I think it was a much needed break.



We went down on the Friday morning, making a bit of an outing of the trip there.


We stopped off at Leeds Castle (in Kent) for a picnic lunch and then on to the town of Battle in the afternoon. We did the tourist thing and went and checked out Battle Abbey and walked around the site of the Battle of Hastings.


The weather was fabulous on the Friday ... a bit of a 'heatwave' by UK standards and by Sunday we were back to normal again with the rain moving in.

There was a strong emphasis on socializing over the weekend and we had quite a bit of free time to park off and relax... so that's just what I did... a bit of reading and a fair amount of walking around the wonderful surroundings.
