Over the bridge

In the heart of the Sevenoaks town centre where I work, lies this little oasis of calm. I still can't quite believe that somewhere quite as pretty and tranquil can exist in a busy town centre. It may not be much to look at in this photo in the dead of winter but in the summer it becomes a gorgeous place to sit and eat lunch with friends, surrounded by flowers on all of the vines and lilies in the pond. Anyone who is old enough to remember (I have been told this by others) will find that walking down the high street in this small town is like stepping back in time to the 1980's. Everything is so old fashioned and there aren't any good shops so to speak of (luckily this town sits nicely between the huge shopping centres of Tunbridge Wells and Bluewater) but there's something I like a lot about Sevenoaks..
