Back in England

I am finally in London - a bit outside of the city, actually - and doing ok with jetlag. The flight here was fine except for the woman next to me with serious overhang. She was incredibly nice, it just made for a very uncomfortable 7 hours to Manchester. ...
Steam Train!
So, on this fine day, we have done quite a bit... Caught the bus to East Grinstead this morning, which was a lovely drive, and had a huge breakfast at Suley's cafe- lovely food but such big portions! Then, the reason for going arrived; a magnificent old ...

Overcast and foggy day. We took off to Battle after breakfast and spent a few hours looking at the sights. Firstly to the Museum, small but informative; the caretaker loving a chat. On to the Abbey and Battlefield with a number of ...
