Wedding Blues





DH and I went to a wedding down in Kent on Saturday and as we decided to drive there and back in one day, we arrived a couple of hours early.  This gave us time to seek out a cup of coffee at Penshurst Place and have a stroll round the garden there.  These amazing asters were in flower (Michaelmas Daisies to you and I).  We have Picton Gardens close to where we live which has the national collection so perhaps this week we may get to visit them as DH is on holiday for a fortnight.

The wedding reception was at West Heath School, which is where Princess Diana apparently went to school and it is reputed to be owned by Al Fayed.  We did manage to get ourselves a bit lost going to the church in Rusthall and walked in just before the bride arrived!!  Being late for everything seems to be a recurring problem of DH these days.

Always with a keen eye for design inspiration I spotted this piece of groteque design on the gate at Penshurst Place or should it be Neoclasssic?  I knew the study for C&G Embroidery History would come in handy some day.
