Bodiam Castle
& some very big fish

Spent the day yesterday with friends - Miranda and her two kids, Joseph (who lives in the US) and Hannah (Australia) and their respective families. As you might imagine, it's rare they all get together at once, especially when we can get there, too. Also our friends Nigel and Ann came along. Although we spent a good chunk of time at the cottage they are all staying in, in Kent, we did make a brief foray out to Bodiam Castle, just down the road, so the kids (big Sarah, age 14; Duncan, 12; our Sarah, 9; Olivia, 7, Alex, 4; Merlin, 3) could have a run around. Despite the rain, they all seemed to have fun - or who knows, maybe because of it. Once we got back to the cottage, the grownups all went inside for tea and other refreshments, while a good contigent of the kiddies continued to play out in the rain, exploring and whatnot. .. More photos of the day here... Most of them fairly out of focus - I think I was trying to snap them too quickly because of the rain. But you get the idea.

Wow. The castle looks gorgeous. I'm so jealous. We don't have a lot of castles here in the U.S. Not a lot of kids named Merlin, either. Don't know which is cooler...
The castle is very cool! Love the pictures of your day out.
