A surprise day out

It's my birthday soon, and fellow blipper W took me on a surprise day out to Shoreham in Kent. It's a lovely olde worlde village. The main blip is of the Memorial Cross. It is carved into the chalk hill above the village. It was the idea of a local man, Samuel Cheeseman, two of whose sons had been killed on active duty during the First World War. It was carved on land donated by a man who had also served in the war. In 2021 Historic England designated the cross a scheduled monument.
The village has a small vineyard where W had booked a table for lunch. We enjoyed a pizza with a glass of wine made from grapes grown  in the vineyard. The desserts were lovely. See extra. I had frozen berries with hot white chololate sauce and W had a strawberry and raspberry posset. Delicious.
