Vineyard trip back

On Sunday, we headed slowly back to Hampton via some vineyards and a pub for lunch. First stop was Chapel Down Vineyards. We got there early so walked around the vines before doing our wine tasting.

Their herb garden could do with some weeding and tidying (it seems to have gone a little out of control since I was here last).
Crazy herb garden




The walk around the vineyards was nice and then we headed for a tasting (mom was our designated driver). They have some great wines and a lovely cider. We all got some and dad decided to buy a giant cork (much to mom's confusion and disgust). He was very proud and happy with his giant cork (a table or stool) but none of my photos seem to be on my phone. :(
Second stop was Biddenden, a short distance away for a second walk around some vines and another tasting.


I made mom and dad pose for some photos!






Dad ended up walking around bare foot for some reason.


At the vineyard, they even remembered me from my last visit. (which I think is a good thing). And of course we left with some more wine and some cheeses. 
I had booked a Sunday lunch at a pub near Tunbridge wells which turned out to be amazing! I forgot to take any photos though. We were too busy eating. We got back and spent the evening nibbling on cheese and crackers, drinking more wine (obviously) and watching movies.
This morning we had lunch and did a little shopping before they headed off home. 
However I have just had a phone call to say they had packed my kindle and 2 of my bottles of wine. The little thieves! (At least one of the things I brought was a book!)
