Despite a traffic jam round Lille, we got to the ferry in time.
Back in the UK we needed to stretch our legs on the way to the Cotswolds, so we stopped off for a break at Tonbridge in Kent. It has the best preserved motte and bailey castle in the south of England. What we didn’t realise is that there’s not much left apart from the gate house. We had a half price voucher from the port, so decided to go in just to show willing. It was a good job, the exhibition and audio tour were brilliant. We spent a fascinating hour looking around completely on our own and then got back in the car to complete our journey to Geoff’s family in Gloucestershire. Nice to see them all!

Me? That was Judith on a bad day…..
I used to live in Tonbridge. As kids my brothers & I used to ride our bicyles around the castle grounds & go fishing & canoeing on the river. It’s a long time since I was there & I realy must take my own boys to see the castle which is looking pretty good & worth a visit. In the 1960’s the town flooded which we thought was just the best fun ever riding around in 2-3ft of water!
