Being jetlagged, I didn't get a lot of sleep the first week after reaching Singapore. So here I was, about to ride the metro when it opened at 5:30 am. This is Kent Ridge Station by the way.
Unexpected sunset when the day was so cloudy and when the sunset appeared on the sky that make up for all the times wasted driving on the motorway for 6 hours or more.....

The North Kent Marshes extend from (roughly) below Dartford (which forms the border between Kent and London) to coastal towns like Whitstable and Herne Bay.
Like Dartford Marshes, Cliffe Marshes has a strange, slightly mysterious history. Now, there are extensive RSPB ponds, with all sorts of bird life: there was an explosives factory and, of course, a cement factory. There are rumours of a decoy town/airfield/embarkation point from WW2 and parts of Dickens' Great Expectations are set there. Now, compared to Dickens' time, the marshes are enclosed and less dangerous but a reminder of that is at the church at the village of Cliffe, St Helen's Church: a charnel house, built to store bodies recovered from the River Thames.
Nowadays, this part of the marshes is private land and not accessible. It's used for grazing, but possibly also for shooting, although I didn't see or hear any evidence of that. I don't know what these buildings were, but there are a good many of them

Parts of Kent woke to some snow this morning. 66 106 is seen getting into its stride at Westenhanger Station with 6C24 1106 D Moor-Daventry Railfreight Terminal service conveying bottled water from France to the UK.
We started late to avoid the worst of the morning chill, but ended up being the last car in the parking area at the end of the day. Although only 6 km's return distance, with a gain of only 700 m's, it took us 5 and a half hours to complete because we had to break trail for most of it...
Leeds Castle is in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. A castle has been on the site since 1119. In the 13th century it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a residence for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The castle today dates mostly from the 19th century and is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds. It has been open to the public since 1976.
