Hever Castle visit (childhood home of Anne Boleyn)

I have this saying I use, when something is really, really, important to me, either to see or do.

"It's super important to me, since like forever."

Yes I am fully aware that I sound like I'm thirteen. I don't care.

Anyways, living here in the UK, I tend to use this phrase a lot. 

My husband makes fun of me all the time.

(Him)   "Oh, so t h I s is the place that is sooooooooo important to you, ---why?"

"Um, DUH,..It's Anne's house man!"

(Strange look from husband) ~  "Because you know her, right?" With a smart ass snicker...

"Yes. I do, she married a man who was the epitome of self indulgent, ego-maniac, delusionalistic (made that word up) superiority issues~~common to quite a few monarchs and men."

It's just discourse.

 No harm done.

;)

Here's a peek of some bits.

My kids don't hold back. Ever.

Tudor Rose in the ceiling, no big deal.

The gardens took my breath away.

Every time I say that I see Maverick. 

Sorry. That'll be in your head now all day.

I wonder how they do that stripe-y grass?

No pictures permitted inside the house, of course, so you'll have to make a trip or buy a book to have a look inside. It's well worth the drive to go, I just adore Kent (the county, not Clarke, though I do adore him too).  

 It's getting late, and I'm getting wordy and parenthetical.

I'm out.

See you soon friends.
