Bodiam Castle

Today we toured Bodiam castle which is about an hours drive from home, small enough to see in a couple of hours and looks like the castle could belong to a chess set. The castle was built in the 1300's. All the iconic features of a castle, like the moat, drawbridge, original old fashioned toilet, ancient well, and a form of grafitti from the 1600's( Erik was very interested) were easily accessible in this cool compact place. Meanwhile, Oona left for Canada today on her first alone plane trip.

Today was a London tourist day with Erik. One of the last days all the Aikens will be all together in the same place at the same time. This summer, Oona is off to Canada to work in Georgian Bay. Kiefer and Astrid will be at camp for 2 weeks with cousins Sophie and Erik in Temagami Ontario and parents will be at wedding in France for a few days. At present time Galbergs already are dispersed. Sophie is having a great time with host family in Italy right now while parents are on a smallish cruise boat blissfully floating childfree, carefree off Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. Erik is here in Tunbridge Wells with me experiencing the wonders of London England with Aiken famiy as tour guides. Bon Voyage to everyone, have a wonderful time.
