Please Use Other Door For Inner Beauty

Today we managed to get out earlier than usual for our run as it's the schools' half term so it was much quieter and there was very little traffic. Post run we were intending to get ourselves up and out early doors for a trip to the coast but yet again the grey skies had retuned so we settled on a much shorter micro trip to the market town of Tonbridge, which we haven't visited in years.
One reason was to try out the town's Punch & Judy pub as we'd seen it reviewed by the Secret Drinker (like a secret shopper but for pubs) in our local paper, the Kent Messenger, as he had described it as "a lovely backstreet boozer".
When we arrived I can't say we were initially that enamoured of the town itself - it certainly didn't feel like it was showing its best side on such on overcast day but then you could say that of most places. In fact we'd alighted on the less 'picturesque' part of the town as were later to discover when we making our way home and realised we'd managed to forget the historic neighbourhood with its scattering of medieval buildings, an 18th Century bridge and an 11th Century castle! So we made a note to visit this part of the town on a return trip.
However, we did mange to find The Punch & Judy on the aforementioned back street and whilst it might appear quite modest from the outside it's lovely and bright inside with stripped floorboards and even its very own stained glass window. It also benefits from 'employing' a hostelry hound - a delightfully friendly and energetic spaniel. The beer was good too.
Our imbibements consumed we walked back along the High Street but didn't seem to be finding any photographic opportunities, especially in such gloomy conditions. It was only when I walked past the beauticians window you can see in my main image, and caught sight of what appeared to be an indoor cherry tree, that I thought I might have something worth capturing. I'm not sure it entirely works (the angles are a bit wonky) but there was just something I liked about the splash of pink from the (presumably fake) cherry tree blossoms, the word beauty etched on the window with different colours showing through it and the sign asking you to please use the other door!
It was at this point that my brother suddenly discovered his phone was missing. So in a bit of a panic he had to retrace his steps to try and find it whilst I returned to the car as my car park ticket was running out. Luckily his phone was still on the table where we'd been sitting at The Punch & Judy but he was in need of a pint on the way home to de-stress!
As my brother hadn't got his image for the day whilst we were in Tonbridge, not helped by mislaying his phone, we took a short detour to The Friars (our local Carmelite priory) before returning home. My brother eventually managed to get his image and I captured my extra of a huge seed head in one of the flowerbeds in the Peace Garden which rather curiously appeared to be being guarded by one small traffic cone and one large one.
