Today its hot, so I've decided to come into Maidstone, just because it's an easy journey by car and bus.
First stop is The Eden, a really lovely café just off the main road.
Its situated in the old grand entrance to a hotel, long gone. Although much of the original was either demolished or bombed I'm not sure which areas like this entrance way still exist if you know where to look. Some places in Maidstone are really very old showing how much of a bustling market town it must have been.
What fascinates me are the two mercury lights which remain on come rain or shine. Glowing green, they give a glimpse into the past come Christmas time.
Talking about Christmas, yes, I've seen the first baubles being put on racks ready for sale along with the calendars and diaries for 2024.
Yep! Only just crawling into September with Halloween still to come and we've leapfrogged to December.
Took myself off to the local "posh" garden centre (in other words, expensive) and had a look around. Much of the summer bedding is still available but I noted the veg plugs are in for autumn planting so it's that time already.
No, didn't buy anything just tea and fruit scone......a lovely it was too.
