The weather forecast was good so we drove down to Eastbourne on the south coast for a night away. On the way down we called in at Sheffield Park, a National Trust property.

At our hotel breakfast, the waitress taking our order asked how many sausages, rashers of bacon and eggs we wanted, but fortunately not how many mushrooms. We thought that amusing.

As we descended the long steep road from Beachy Head several cyclists were following us and travelling at 40-45 mph!

Next time we visit Eastbourne we’ll do it by train – there’s a lot of traffic around the south coast.

We had a superb evening meal at La Locanda Del Duca restaurant.

Have your say! (No need for any ID!)
