Hotel McGurren - 27th & 28th July

Visited our friends Drew and Jane in Horsmonden near London for a couple of days (Tarsha worked with Drew in Guildford).

The boys enjoyed playing with their girls Phoebe and Lucy and also met George the tortoise. We also visited the Bedgebury Forest where there were lovely walking trails and playgrounds.

Battle Abbey - 27th July

We left the Isle of Wight today and travelled up to Horsmonden near London. Along the way we stopped in at Battle Abbey - the site of the great Battle of Hastings in which the English army was defeated by William the Conqueror of Normandy.

Legend has it that William defeated King Harold of England after poor Harold took an arrow to his eye!
