Awaking in Brighton, we had a wonderful breakfast of smoked salmon and eggs before strolling to more of our old haunts. We visited an old secondhand market and noticed a gumball machine with sweets that had clearly been affected by the recent heatwave. Or decades sweating in that glass.
We then walked down to the centre of town.
We were headed to stay in the house of family who lived on a farm in the East Sussex countryside. We passed expansive plains viewed from the train.
Lewes is famous for fireworks and pagan oddness on Guy Fawkes night. I once worked here in the County Council office and was fired when caught using MS Paint during work hours.
ST Leonards Warrior Square in Hastings was an interesting destination and one we would revisit a number of times.
At the farmhouse the children frolicked in the country air.
One day I took a long walk through meadows to the nearby village of Burwash, past sheep, blackberry bushes and over streams, taking me to the wonderful Rose and Crown.
