Chislehurst Chalk Caves are massive and have been around since the Druids and if we are to believe the guide who told all the ghost stories he could summon, it’s haunted. But the most interesting part of the cave system, once a mine for chalk, is that during WW II it was home to 15 000 people who paid a penny a night and sixpence a week to stay there. It was good to see Kate and Jess again after Ireland. Kate took us around town in her Mini Cooper S, but my offer to drive was declined. Lunch at Shoreham, a pretty little Tudor town with a lovely churchyard. It was there that Kate explained the mystery of the skull and crossbones on headstones. Apparently they were put there as a warning to others that the deceased buried below died of the Black Death. A great day, very relaxing.
