My Romance with the Kenwood Estate is now over a year long. Every time I was back in Florida I really missed it. I missed walking the seasons, past the Hampstead Heath Extension, uphill though the woods, past the Spaniards Inn and within 20 minutes, the West Gate. This elegant estate was built in the 1700s as a family home and is now owned by English Heritage. Kenwood Estate Park is also where Andy works as a Ranger AND The West gate is where Andy always meets me.
I love the clean Georgian exterior and surrounding gardens and woodlands. The estate itself houses an impressive art collection, a collection that I have yet to see as I am usually ambling with Andy searching for mushrooms or having a latte at the Brew House Café and more often than not, a delicious Almond Croissant.
Warm weather has the locals flocking to the estate, of which I am now one AND I cannot wait for Sophie to be here so we can violate the leash laws that are continually being enforced by the rangers!!!!
