An important milestone....

Leeds Castle

Tomorrow as a family we start a few days of celebration. It’s John’s 50th birthday, and we are having a family meal together at home on Saturday evening. He has already been treated to a new digital camera, because on Sunday we travel into Kent, as John will be a VIP Guest of the Falconry Team at Leeds Castle for the Day. We will be learning how to handle, and hopefully fly the birds around the magnificent grounds there.

Later on, we get to have lunch and afternoon tea in the Castle itself. John loves watching falconry displays, and this way he gets to handle them with the experts, plus they will set up photo opps, so hopefully we might have some good photos to show here soon! My role is to act as spectator, and carry the camera bags! If he wants to , and is up to it, they might also let him help out with the Falconry Display to the public in the afternoon!

Then it’s off to a luxury Spa Hotel in Royal Tunbridge Wells for dinner and a chance to unwind. After an early breakfast on Monday morning, we will then drive off to Ashford, to pick up the Eurostar train as passengers (i.e. without the car) to spend three nights in Bruge, Belgium.

Very much looking forward to a romantic break.

See you when we get back.
