I forgot about the evening on Day 2 (old age y'know.). On the evening of our second day we learned that there was a concert at the bandstand in Eastbourne which was going to finish with fireworks. We didn't have tickets and we wouldn't have wanted to go to the concert but if they were [...]

Day One The weather forecast for the next 3 days was cloudy but dry. Well, we can handle that so off we went to Eastbourne. Why Eastbourne? We'll get to that later. We decided to travel by train. We don't have to drive and we don't have to find somewhere to park (the hotel doesn't [...]
Bright, Brighter, Brighton – Day Two
13 July 2013 at 1:54 pm 5 comments
We got up this morning to find a cloudy sky but it is supposed to get brighter later. After breakfast we paid our bill and booked out but left our luggage until we were ready to leave Brighton later in the day. We went down the road again to Marine Parade to have another look [...]
Bright, Brighter, Brighton – Day One
12 July 2013 at 1:19 pm 2 comments
Wednesday was cloudy when we got up but we were planning to go to Brighton for an overnight stay and the weather was supposed to be better down south. I had become quite frustrated the day previously in trying, and failing, to find available accommodation in Brighton. I didn't think that Brighton was so popular [...]
Picture this!

An American gentleman recently emailed an image of a painting he has of a street scene in Hastings so I rummaged through my photographs of Hastings and came up with a good match. Just thought you'd like to see. Not all the pictures I take go onto the web site because there would be far [...]
Down South – Day 3 – Saturday 26th Sept.
30 September 2009 at 11:49 am No comments
We both have aching legs this morning so nothing strenuous today methinks. After breakfast we decided to have a look at the old town area after having passed an interesting half-timbered building on the way back on the bus yesterday so we walked up there. There is very little left of interest in the old [...]
Down South – Day 2 – Friday 25th Sept.

We woke to another sunny day so the prospects for today's planned walk look good! After breakfast we walked out of our hotel at 9:15 and down to the seafront by the Wish Tower where we turned west. We had about a mile to walk along the seafront before we reached the footpath on the [...]
Down South – Day 1 – Thursday 24th Sept.

We left home in the morning on a gloriously warm sunny day heading for the Sussex Coast. Our first stop, however, was to be Battle (1066 and all that!) and they have some peculiar parking arrangements in Battle. The abbey has its own car park for which you have to pay and you have to [...]

On Friday 29th May we heard that the weather was forecast to be warm and sunny for the next four days so we did what anyone would do under the circumstances; we booked to go to Lewes or, if you want to be pedantic, to Offham which is two miles from Lewes town centre. We [...]

Tomorrow we leave for Rye and the day after that we meet, for the first time, our forum friend from the U.S.A. – Marie. After that anything could happen. I am hoping that when the hotel says it has Internet access it actually works. We shall see. If it does work I'm hoping to update [...]
