Essence of Kent

Helen and I seem to be on a similar wavelength at the moment. She has inspired me to put some of my pictures that I took recently of old buildings/outhouses. It is the one thing that makes me think of my part of kent. I am wanting to make some studies of things that make me think Kent as I remember it when I was a child so I went with a friend to her friend's home to help her feed her donkey and cats whilst she is away. I took my camera because I know the land around which used to be a small holding/orchard held just what I wanted.This is a little house for the goats to go to in the rain.

Disused hen houses

I love the old shallow tin bucket with handle on the top of this pile, I have one of these myself at home that we use to take out the ashes, it was my mothers. I wonder what it was used for, probably animal feeding or such like.

Yet another view of an animal shelter.

I'm not sure exactly how I will use these images as yet. I have made a couple of quick sketches but I think that I need to only use part of these and concentrate on the ageing process when I do make further studies.
