Packed and Ready...

We are packed and ready to go tomorrow. A pleasant drive along the Sussex coast to Rye Harbour and 'Harbour Lights' cottage, our 'home' for the next five days. Plenty of R&R, birding, seafood, good wine, real ale, single malts, books, music, local pubs, beach-combing, antique shops, shoe shops (Ros only), book shops, Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, wellingtons, Tilley hats, Barbour coats, OS maps... and perhaps an umbrella!

Off to the country

We have had weeks of glorious weather, that is until Thursday. Skies became leaden, the air became still and very humid and overnight we experienced thunder and lightning storms of awesome proportions. The same occurred last night. After rain this morning the weather has calmed somewhat although the high cloud cover suggests more rain to come.

This is only to be expected as we are travelling this afternoon to friends in the country for a B-B-Q! It will go ahead no matter how inclement the weather. Would not be the first time we have cooked beneath umbrellas! And we have a large gazebo....

Whatever happens we will enjoy good company, good food, beer and wine and an overnight stay in beautiful surroundings...
