Hello to Eastbourne

 Eastbourne, Pearl of the south coast.

When we left Winchcombe, the trains were still running and we made it without incident.

We always enjoy coming here and feel very relaxed with Sheelagh's cousin, Jan and her husband, Brian. 

After our walks in the Cotswolds, it's fun to just stroll the front, admiring the carpet gardens

and walking on the pier.

   

 We are staying here until the 31th. Brian who retired from teaching 2 1/2 years ago is very busy. Word leaked out that he's a handy sort of chap and he has a lengthy list of folk who appreciate him caring for their gardens and fences and even pets from time to time. He also carves birds and presented us with a beautifully carved loon when we arrived.

Jan is a warm and welcoming hostess and always makes us feel at home here. It's wonderful be in Eastbourne.
