The Garden of England.


I went to Kent's delightful Sissinghurst at the weekend, it was a staggeringly beautiful piece of The Garden of England.

Or so i thought.

I have always called Kent 'The Garden of England' because that is what i thought God named it when he made it.

Apparently, Kent is not The Garden of England anymore, as it is now considered to be North Yorkshire.

I am sorry, but can they really change it willy nilly? Is that right?

It isn't like when Exeter got voted 'City in bloom 2007', and then Norwich took it in 2008.

Surely The Garden of England is one place, Kent, and should always remain one place, that being Kent!

I have been slightly perturbed by the entire thing.

Sorry.
