The house from the main lawn. 
The house, oast, hedges and nursery garden.
The house from the far end of the main lawn.
A 2000-year-old Roman well-head is the focal point at the end of the lawn.

My friend Pat, opera-lover extraordinaire.
Pat goes to almost every performance the opera group gives, even though she lives many miles from where they perform and doesn't drive. She's a radiographer, and before the powers-that-be saw fit to move her department from the small specialist neuro unit where it used to be and install it in a large general hospital, she worked close to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club. Her department used to x-ray and scan injuries to the likes of Pete Sampras.

Oh, Val, what a lovely day!! The pictures are just beautiful and I am so glad to hear you had a great time.
Wish I could toddle off to Edenbridge - it is breathtaking!
It's a real privilege to go there and mix with such lovely people in those gorgeous surroundings.
it's absolutely breathtaking.... how wonderful
I know I'm shallow, but I adored Pete Sampras... not the way I love vdo, but I wouldn't miss a match of his... did Pat ever meet him?
sorry, I've posted under this name... just playing around with my blog and forgot to change user.
I think one of her friends dealt with him. Not sure if she saw him at all - she's not impressed by celebs. Sampras was too hairy for my liking (says the woman whose husband had hair EVERYWHERE!)
How bizarre - my word verification just had a red cross instead of the letters to type. I had to type in rubbish to make it come up with an alternative that I COULD see!
Val,thank you for the pictures.What a beautiful place,and those gardens would make Jim weep.So much nicer than our little tiny plot.
I'm glad the weather stayed good for you too,makes a nice change doesn't it :)
