Well the day arrived all too early and we were up doing last minute packing and a bit of re-packing! Then the fun talking to 'Direct Line' Car insurers. They have to be the worst people on earth to deal with!!!!!!! End result our insurance has been cancelled. Oh well we had the cover long enough to do what we wanted. Will now put car up for sale and start again next year. Reg and Linda drove us up to Gatwick. As always hard to say goodbye to friends but all holi...

We started the day by packing our suitcases ready for the big trip home tomorrow. The four of us piled Into the trusty 'holiday wheels' for the last time this trip and made our way to 'The Wingrove' in Alfriston where we had a very good lunch accompanied by an equally good bottle of 'Breaky Bottom' Sussex Champagne.

We spent a couple of very pleasant hours catching up before her 'meals on wheels' lunch arrived so we took our leave said our goodbyes and he...

We started off where we left off yesterday felling more affected trees before heading into Seaford for coffee and a little late breakfast then it was back for more trees before Inez arrived with the three girls (grand parenting time). At lunch time Linda and I decided to go out for lunch at the Eight Bells in Jevington as we had not been to the old watering hole this year. Rabbit pie was the choice, though we thought that other than the very puffy pastry it was a...
