Harvest festival in Kent


Kent sounds good but actually the London Borough of Bexley.  Lamborey, very pretty and I had never heard of it but it is a place that we will know a bit more soon for family reasons.  We did not know it was Harvest Festival so it was with some dismay we saw the parade of guides, brownies, beavers, scouts and all the flags out- and the inevitable Betjeman poem about the church mouse!  The Mass was actually very beautiful with a choir and lovely hymns but it was freezing cold...............I could not wait to get out and warm up with some hot coffee in the church hall. Unfortunately I managed to tip a full cup down my  front and mysteriously  into a bag that held my knitting- the front of the half finished jumper   now has a rather surreal brown pattern.
