Last weekend we headed up to Sissinghurst in Kent. I took a few photos and made an audio blog of our walk.
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!
Testing out my new gaiters. Looking pretty happy about them!
Fancy! Benenden (not Biddenden!) School. I like the way the additions change style over the years.
Danger Adders. The worst kind of adder.

Caution Humps. The worst kind of hump.

Ahh, time for tea! We found a dryish spot in the woods, complete with a few items of handy tree stump furniture.
Wild garlic. Spring is coming . . . As Dan says in the audio piece, "Tasty, tasty spring."
New growth.

Oast houses at Sissinghurst.

Sissinghurst Castle. We haven't been for a while and it was nice to see it again (we didn't go in).
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.
