October half term holiday visits in Kent.
In order of photos: Leeds Castle, Hever Castle, Petworth, Brighton Pavilion, Firle Place, Sissinghurst, Standen.
The places that were really interesting: Hever, Firle, Standen, Brighton, Sissinghurst.
Petworth is akin to the National Gallery and the staff fobbed us off when we tried to find out about the family members who worked there, plus we had to walk through the deer park to get to the house. If we had known this, we wouldn't have bothered going.
Hever was too busy, the exhibition was just panels of information, and mother had a meltdown because father moaned about how much money we spent in the shop. They need to have crowd control in the castle and better food, as it wasn't worth the money. Next time we must not visit during school holidays and must make sure parents don't wind each other up.
Firle is where the Bake off Professionals is filmed. It has a really interesting history though a good restaurant.
Sissinghurst and Standen had fascinating insights about the owners.
Brighton was good, but not as good as it was the first time with the Jane Austen exhibition.
Leeds had awful eatery places and an awful show about the queen's who lived there that was not informative or educational. Focused on the last owner rather than all of the history.

A Monumental Weekend of Tourism
Although we were in DC last year, we didn’t really play tourist much. We spent our exploration time in our neighborhood of Petworth. This year, our friend Mary Jo and her son, Colin, came to visit so we just had to drag that poor teenager to every tourist sight we could think of.
They arrived Thursday and Colin promptly took a nap. Hard getting up early when you go to sleep on teen time. We knew…

I found this really sweet lead bird circa 1930’s today @petworthantiquesmarket. It may have to live at my house for awhile as it has already settled in. Today was one of those perfect fall days where you can feel the weather changing but it is still crisp and sunny. #leadbird #petworth #petworthantiquesmarket #antiquinginengland #vintagedecor #designer #decorator #setdesign #ressurectedoddities https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEBUzXsVDt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The countryside is not a slice of untilled nature. It is a human institution built over centuries in the image of the people who made it.
