Both of us are keen on 20th century writing, art and culture. Most of the art we love and a good proportion of the books we read are pre 1950. In reading about the culture of the times, you do notice a number of connections between people; none more so than the so called Bloomsbury set. Recently we've both been reading a lot about them and I've been struggling through Mrs Dalloway very slowly. Last week however we had a little Bloomsbury adventure and had a week away to Kent and East Sussex to follow in their footsteps. I thought I'd share some pictures of our adventure
