The Coddiwomples in Kent by Lewis, aged 9 (nearly 10).
Lewis and Otto in Daphne.
I met Ivan & Jane at Nannys. We loaded up Daphne with Nannys wobbly stool ready to go on an adventure. We stopped at Bodiam castle on the way, for a quick drink and a little adventure.
Jane, Lewis & Ivan at Bodiam castle. Well worth a visit 👍
Then we travelled to the campsite next to the Big Cat Santuary in Kent setting up our home for the next few days. We were excited because we wanted to hear the big cats roar.

The lakes at the campsite are very beautiful. There is lots of fish, so it's good for fishing if you wish. Plus the horses grazing here make friendly neigh-bours.

After a good nights sleep we stayed up in bed listening to the trains for a while. Luckily Ivan & Jane got to hear the big cats roar, sadly I didn't until the next day when they were very vocal 🐅.
We were on our way to Sissinghurst castle in the ural. I sat in the side car with Otto on my lap when the coddiwomples struck. We side tracked to the airport ✈ where there is going to be on Saturday and Sunday a big air show.

The next day we lounged around Daphne and watched a film, visited the local town and had a Barbeque. I love this life 💗.

Another day we coddiwompled to Tenterden to do some shopping. We got Otto a newly engraved tag for his collar and went around town searching for records for Ivan. We went down this road and suddenly the coddiwomples struck yet again! We saw all these lovely motorbikes, had drink & cake and went into the museum. We carried on down the lane hoping to find the flag of Kent, but luckily we saw a really old steam train coming into the station. Then we went back to the same shop as the day before on the ural and believe it or not we found the flag of Kent.
The county flag of Kent.
The next day we waited in Daphne until finally my mum & dad came for the air show. We lounged around in Daphne and had a drink☕🍪🍫. We had a lovely day at the air show, there were lots of military vehicles. Now I'm planning to go back home.
At Headcorn airport. The motorcycle is an original German motorcycle and sidecar from the war. The ural motorcycle is copied from the same design.
We hope you enjoyed our guest blogger Lewis. Thank you for reading 😊.
