The Sounds of Sissinghurst

Last weekend we headed up to Sissinghurst in Kent. I took a few photos and made an audio blog of our walk.
Farm track
Along the High Weald Landscape Trail near Sissinghurst in Kent.
There's no transcript of the piece, but it includes:
  • Notes about a few places we pass (see photos below for some of them)
  • A couple of speculative discussions of our Snowy River adventure
  • Dan losing the rain cover for his bag (does he find it again? oh, the tension!)
  • Some annoying kissing gates
  • A short interlude of pigeons and bagpipes
  • The sound of birds, wind in the trees and rain
This was a bit of an experiment to see how well the digital recorder worked and if the recordings might be edited into a single piece, so it's not the most polished thing ever. It's probably best to use headphones to listen. But hopefully it gives you an insight into what it's like to go on a walk with us!
person in field in gaiters and raincoat
Testing out my new gaiters. Looking pretty happy about them!
fancy red brick building
Fancy! Benenden (not Biddenden!) School. I like the way the additions change style over the years.
sign on tree
Danger Adders. The worst kind of adder.
sign beside road
Caution Humps. The worst kind of hump.
muddy boots and legs and tea stuff
Ahh, time for tea! We found a dryish spot in the woods, complete with a few items of handy tree stump furniture.
green shoots and dead leaves
Wild garlic. Spring is coming . . . As Dan says in the audio piece, "Tasty, tasty spring."
new growth
New growth.
oast houses through an archway
Oast houses at Sissinghurst.
walled garden and tower
Sissinghurst Castle. We haven't been for a while and it was nice to see it again (we didn't go in).
tree with growth that looks like a skull
A slightly creepy tree - doesn't that look like a skull?!

Please do let me know if you enjoyed the audio! I'll post a Snowy River adventure update later this week and then the blog will be taking a break until after we return from Australia in late April.
