To Eastbourne and beyond

Goodness gracious me - 9.45am and we've just woken up!!! I can't remember the last time that Nigel and I slept in so late :0 but do I feel guilty - NO WAY!! obviously we are both catching up on sleep and just enjoying the non-interruptions.

We decided to venture past Beachy Head today, where we normally stop for a cuppa, and drive along the coastal road to Brighton (although we didn't visit Brighton). The weather was typical British weather - grey, cold and overcast but we were not going to let this spoil our day - I think our assignment on 'Positive Psychology' must be rubbing off on us!! lol

As we had risen late this morning we hadn't had any breakfast so by now our tummies were rumbling when Nigel spied a carvery advertising a roast meal with all the trimmings for £3.50 and it was in a seaside village called 'Peacehaven'. As much as we enjoyed our meal we soon realized that we were the youngest two in the restaurant as all the pensioners arrived to take advantage of the mouth-watering offerings and I don't blame them.

Peacehaven beach - the tide is out.

We made our way back to The Travel Lodge as Nigel wanted to put the finishing touches to his assignment and this gave me the opportunity to visit all the book shops in town on my own.
