This is a time of mixed emotions as people reflect on the year that has passed and look forward to the upcoming Christmas season. The writer was on vacation and spent the day driving around Kent, visiting various churches and taking photographs. They dropped their partner off at work and then drove to Penshurst Place, where they visited the church and took photos of the memorials and tombs. From there, they drove to different villages and towns, hoping to revisit churches and capture new shots. They encountered various challenges, including rain and difficulties finding parking spaces. They eventually made their way back to Folkestone, where they picked up their partner after she had finished a work event. Overall, it was a day filled with exploration, appreciation for beauty, and moments of kindness.
