Due to the present unpleasantness we haven’t been away since January.
Scouring
the archives for something to write about I found this report on our August
Bank Holiday Weekend 2019 trip when things were very different …
Warning,
contains nudity …
Thunderthighs wanted to visit Brighton to ride on Volk's Electric Railway.
We'd left our sunhats at home so bought news ones off a
Senegalese street trader — in Brighton

This is a really lovely photo of the two of you. X
Bentonbag Ferretfingers took it.
Fester braved the
traffic to read the plaques.
It wasn't Napoleonic but a general remembrance of
the Royal Sussex Regiment (quite a lot about Malta?!)
As we were in an elderly Premier Inn there was no air conditioning,
but there was a fan.
The temperature was 27*.
His father's son stripped off and
watched Mastermind (?) on the tv and something else on his tablet, both with
subtitles; however hot it got the ear defenders stayed on.
For one glorious moment I thought he was
volunteering to have a bath.
Mrs Leftfoot
I'm speechless.
31 August at 12:00 – NewhavenFort
Actually this was a very interesting information board: the only one I've seen with translations into French, German
and Dutch.
Bess Cavalier We went to Newhaven Fort in July.
Excellent day out.
Bentonbag I kept thinking I should tell you about it because you would like it
- now I don't need to.
We met up with Bigsister, her husband and brother-in-law and
climbed to the top of Newhaven Fort.
(to me this looks like the cover of an Enid Blyton book)
Starting the journey home:
Newhaven to Brighton,
Brighton to St Pancras
and then to Kings
Cross
for the train back North.
