Life in Hastingleigh

As life gets increasingly busy around here, and because it's easier to snap and share a few pictures in passing than to yack on and on at length as I usually do (even this explanation is taking an eternity), here are some pictures I've taken over the last week or so of our "goings on" here in Hastingleigh and environs:

Coming into Hastingleigh from Elmsted (rather proud of this one - anyone know a calendar company interested in publishing pictures of "Picturesque English Villages in Autumn"?)

My room.  Mother, please notice both flute out of case and full music stand, which indicate I am indeed practicing, not just goofing off in Europe.

The Studio

Another one for the calendar - the saints who own Wye Bakery.  Lovely people, LOVELY bread.


Canterbury Cathedral


From the other side

Canterbury outpost of the Evil Empire.  The coffee here tastes EXACTLY the same as it does at home (burnt), and yes, I'm ashamed that I acquired this knowledge - but I hadn't had a latte of any kind in two weeks, and the sound of steaming milk was just too much!

The studio invades Whist Night at the village hall.  Look at these hardened card sharks.

Jhen Wei in the kitchen making sure she didn't miss any of the edibles during the tea, cake and sandwiches interval

Action Whist!  Actually, I jerked mid-photo since someone snuck up behind me and poked my sides to get back at me for the kitchen pic. . .

So Yun and Jhen Wei at the "flirt" table.  Everyone knows the real reason to go to Whist Night is the cute babes.
