Daytrippers

Eve & Andrew came for the day, we drank Pimms on the patio, went to the Booth museum, I thought I may have to rush out and get some air at one point. Had tea and cake at the Dyke Rd park cafe. Walked down to the seafront where they both had a paddle.

We had fish and Chips at the Regency (came in under Eve's budget) and beer at the fortune of war and the Caxton arms.

And in other news

Chris and Paul came for dinner we had a lovely time, the next day we went for a walk and then had lunch at pub du vin.

The art students of Brighton have been about town 'performing art'.

We have been exploring the Sussex countryside, I particularly like the pub lunches.

Rico Billy wants to buy this place and do it up.

Walk around Beachy Head

In an attempt to walk off the many cakes we have been eating, we did a circular walk from Birling Gap taking in Beachy head.



Anna's visit

Anna, Byron and Ella came for their annual visit unfortunately they didn't bring the weather from Delhi this time. Normally the sun shines when they come but this year it was a little chilly. Still we had fun on the beach.


Fun in the park.
