We passed the 'chav' (google it) pub and then the better pub and headed towards the historical town sign.
At that point you turn right into what looks like a barnyard. Well actually it is a barnyard but you're allowed to walk through it. Cows look the same in any country but the interesting thing with these cows was that they had numbers tattooed in white on their hindsides. We never did find the Gretzky cow but I'm sure he was out there somewhere. We continued down the road until we came to a beautiful view of the Downs, Tenterden and the site of the Battle of Hastings.
On our way back to town we stopped in at the church. It dates back to the 1200's but they believe it may have been there even before that. The graves outside sure looked OLD, we couldn't read most of them they were so covered in lichen.
We returned to 'the old barn' for leftover Indian food.
We'd had an assortment of rices, spices and meats and it tasted even better the next day.
The shopper in me resurfaced in a delightful store called matalan where we spend £61 and got two bags jam packed with clothing deals. So much england stuff that the clerk commented that our accents didn't match our merchandise. The store is kind of like a Winners with not as much stuff.
Ethan said it smelled like Winners. It was a short walk there so I could be going back before we leave if anyone would like any dirt cheap England football paraphenalia (sp?). Apparently the Brits will have to keep reliving the victory of 1966 for another 4 years.

PS What did you do with Emma?
She preferred to stay at the house and commune with her iPod on both of our daytime excursions. I then decided she had had enough communing and have given the iPod a 24 hour reprieve
What is she doing on it because she is not reading my pings
