I am very lucky to not only live in a country full of beauty, but to live in the county of Kent which is commonly known as ‘The Garden of England’.

In the last twelve months my family and I have taken many spontaneous walks, too many to share in one post. It really is quite easy to find beauty in a lot of natural places and very good for the soul to acknowledge the life that you find. I always feel refreshed after a little bit of time with the world in its true form.

This picture was recently taken at the beautiful lake found at Manor Park Country Park, West Malling.

The park used to be a part of an 18th century estate owned by Thomas Douce.

We found a variety of natural dwellings and wildflowers here. There are swans, ducks (and their babies) and moorhens.

There are many public footpaths in England. We like to drive around until we find a public footpath sign then we park the car and take a walk to see where it takes us.

This particular image was taken when my son and I did a random footpath walk in a rural area called Chilmington, near Ashford.

This tiny little woods was very inviting. It is very peaceful and as it is situated at the top of a hill, the views of the nearby countryside are amazing.

All along the East coast of Kent there are so many wonderful places to visit that cost nothing.
We took a walk along the Estuary at Oare, near Faversham.

There is a natural water spring here so we filled our bottles from the spring. We could taste and feel how much cleaner it is than tap water!

We lifted up some of the rocks looking for life and came across this little guy:

There are so many places that we have not yet discovered of course and I am very excited about all the new things we are going to find!
