I wasn't sure what photo to put on the blog from today, as we spent the day at Hever Castle in Kent - there's a quilt show this weekend, so we always go check it out and have a good time in the grounds of the castle, which has a good playground, a hedge maze, a water maze, a big lake and various pretty gardens, lots of topiary and so on (the house is cool too - it's the childhood home of Anne Boleyn - but with the kids, we don't go inside, although I have seen the inside myself - next year we mig, though, as the kids have expressed an interest). Anyway, I decided on this photo for my friend Michael, who is always somewhat envious when we visit castles - Mike - you and Chrissy save your pennies and come for a visit and I promise I will take you to at least 3 castles (including this one) - more if you aren't tired of them by then!
Anyway, that's what we did - hung out at Hever - more photos of the day and of the quilt show are here, on flickr.

Fantastic quilts. As a beginner, I'm in awe of what these quilters have created. Thank you for posting that.
Aww... You're going to make me blush. You selected the picture just for me? I'm honored. And yes, I am envious when you visit castles. And also, yes, we may just have to save our pennies and take you up on your offer...
:) I visited there last Easter with my family, they organise an Easter Egg hunt, I'm sure your kids would love it!
