Hever Castle- window views

Many thanks, Andy! It's the first time I went to Hever and its lovely gardens because it was included in our organized tour. The entrance fees nearly everywhere are quite steep;-)

Pseudo-Tudor...aber sie sehen trotzdem so schön aus ;)
Ein wunderschöner Blick und es freut mich, dass Du hier schönes Wetter hattest....das macht das Ganze so lieblich...irgendwie ;)

Großen Dank, Tanja! Man sieht den Unterscheid zwischen echt und pseudo hier praktisch nicht, es sieht einfach sehr englisch aus:-) Und es war entsetzlich heiß, im Haus selber war es unglaublich schwül, deswegen bin ich schnell durch und habe dann zuerst mal ein Eis gesucht;-)

I went at a time when I was a National Trust member, had their sticker on my windscreen (the system has changed now) so didn't have to pay the car park or entrance fee.
I do recall that it was on the hottest day ever recorded in England (101.3 fahrenheit, or 38.5 celsius). This was on August 10, 2003 and was recorded at Faversham, Kent, so not a million miles from Hever Castle. I was with my sister's Spanish family and even they felt it as it was combined with high humidity, not something usually they suffer from in Madrid!
We all enjoyed the visit though, including a picnic on the grassy slopes above the moat. There, I recall the pleasing shade from the mulberry trees which had the largest, ripest and sweetest fruit I can ever recall (and that includes from the South of France).
