A drink on the platform before setting off. We had a lovely day in the country: by coach to Tenterden, then greeted with a sherry at the station before spending several hours trundling through the countryside at a leisurely pace on the steam train - our carriage was particularly elegant with decorative wood inlays, brass fittings etc. I saw a bluebell wood, lots of cows and sheep, a couple of rabbits bounding around, several pheasants, and masses of primroses. We saw Bodiam castle over the fields which looked lovely in the spring light. We had a super lunch with copious draughts of wine, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day. The menu was specially designed for us, and lots of people took it as a keepsake of this year's St. George's day. Some of the Trustees joined us, and were extremely impressed by the quality of the outing, and the way it had been so efficiently organised by Romy.
