Full of Wonder

I made this layout using the July 'My Creative Scrapbook' kit. The photos were taken back in 1984, when our friends still lived in Tunbridge Wells (they have been living in Devon for many years now).
We went to Groombridge for a walk and lunch and tool a strole around the grounds of Groombridge Place, where this peacock followed us around!
