The road to Sevenoaks, with many orchids on the verge.
In which we start where we stopped on Day 8, the Number 10 Bed and Breakfast in Swanley.
Where we go
- Eynsford “Lido”, and the tea shop
- The viaduct, on the way to Lullingstone
- St Edith’s Well, Kemsing
Topics, stories
- The pleasure of meeting strangers on the way and talking
- The abundance of orchids on the road to Shoreham
- Whether an unsighted person would get any joy from joining this Desktop Pilgrimage (Google Streetview is strictly visual)
- The strange coincidence that Mary Monro (Day 8’s guest) should happen to know somebody who lives right here at Eynsford (Erica, today’s guest).
- The pleasure of not having a clue what Erica “does”.
- What it’s like for Erica to join the Desktop Pilgrimage without knowing us.
- What it’s like to walk the road to Shoreham by night (as Erica does, with friends)
- The appeal of Lindisfarne, not only to “the people of St Cuthbert”
- What Saint Edith did, when King Canute had her body dug up
