I visited Chartwell some 18 years ago and felt the need to go back, all the 50th aniversary news of Winston Churchills death in the media reminded me how much I like Kent as a county. It was a freezing cold day but I was not disappointed, the house although not grand given the importance of Churchill was welcoming and friendly, with lots of great recent history.
Today because it was frosty with beautiful clear blue skies, we headed off to Slindon in West Sussex. It is known for its pumpkin displays which I shall blog about later.
For my husbands birthday this year I booked him on a photography course at the spectacular West Dean College near Chichester West Sussex.

Cass Sculpture Park in Goodwood West Sussex is one of the most stunning setting's that I have visited. The owner Mr Wilfred Cass who is in his nineties is a very interesting and clever man, he has had a great life that is recorded in his book called 'Here comes Mr Cass', which can be bought from the foundation.
