Shoreham: Sex and Violence on the Allotments

The Brits are just endlessly interesting. After Chartwell, we parked over-night at a public carpark in the hamlet of Shoreham, in Kent. There are a few score houses and buildings here, many dating from centuries ago. But there is always plenty to see, learn, and enjoy.

The Brits are all over allotments--community gardens, sort 
of, though more established and legal--and here we saw a 
shocking advert on "sex and violence on the allotments"--
but then remembered the great old Peter Cook routine...
"So I've re-written it a bit. I've given it a new title. I've 
called it, 'Sex and Violence Down the Mine.' And chapter 
one begins with these three nude ladies; Beryl, Stella and

Margaret, and they are completely nude, and they are 
wandering around the desert...Violently."

Shoreham parish church--Norman in shape, but younger, 
the brick work alternating with flint; flint...there must 
have been a paleolithic axe factory nearby

At a Shoreham pub in a building dating from the 16th century 
(another flatly states 1500, AD), a re-creation of the ostler's 
station; the ostler was the guy who cared for your horse while 
you were at the pub; not too many of these left

Beautiful Kent countryside
