June 21 - Monday
I had a wonderful trip to Bodiam Castle with four other women. We boarded a train at Charing Cross Station at 9:00am and arrived in Robertsbridge, East Sussex at about 10:15am. We walked a few blocks into the village and stopped in a sweet little flower shop where two women helped us by calling a car to drive us the 5 miles to Bodiam Castle. Bodiam Castle is one of the last remaining moated castles and it is a thrill to see it set apart from the village in the rolling green park and farm land. Completely surrounded by its wide moat, the external walls remain entirely intact, and the entire effect is the castle you have always imagined! The roof is gone and most of the interior walls are in ruins but enough remains so that you can see how grand it once was. We spent a lovely day exploring the castle, climbing the tower stairs and enjoying the stunning views.

Tomorrow we go to Wimbledon.
