After our walk with Ellie, I went and collected Jackie and we went out for lunch together. We always have loads to talk about. Our intention is to sort out Red Hatters things. We didn’t do any!  Ah well, maybe another lunch, another day!

We took Ellie for a nice walk around the cricket pitch, we haven’t done that walk for a while but I guess her pain killers have kicked in.

We went to Lou and Rhys’s for a roast and very nice it was too.  The two boys have a little business going washing cars and so they cleaned my car inside and out. They made a very good job of it.

Yesterday was spent shopping and doing all the things catching up after our break away! Today we went to the allotment early with Ellie. The weeds have shot up, lots of flowers and everything needs watering as there has been no rain.

So much rhubarb, which we have shared amongst neighbours and I left Mal at the allotment and came home to make a rhubarb crumble and also an Irish tea loaf. I should never really make any recipe from James Martin but Mal loves it. I think James puts cream or butter in everything he makes.

We watched a good Spurs game in the afternoon. Followed by a disappointing Hammers game!

Time to leave the caravan so we packed our things and went for a walk around the lake. In spite of it being a busy park, it is very peaceful around the lake and we chatted to a couple of fishermen. I did think how Torin would have loved the carp fishing there.

We then took a slow drive to Hythe, we do like Hythe, some nice little shops and while I look…..

We had our lunch in ‘Truly Scrumptious’. We love this cafe, good food and lovely staff.

Back home and Mal went to the allotment to water things. My courgettes and tomatoes I have at home have gone mad!

First we went to Hastings Country Park. Obviously Ellie couldn’t have her usual long walk but she liked having a chase around for a while.

We then went in to Hastings and walked along the sea front. We also had a walk around the Fisherman’s Museum and watched a video telling us how they were hardly making a living in Hastings from fishing.

It is Skate season and I love it, so we made the decision to have our lunch in a pub that had skate on the menu, sitting outside in the garden. Mal went in to order only to be told that they “had a limited menu today” and no skate. They were almost opposite the sheds selling fresh fish so we knew it was available. We then spent the next three quarters of an hour asking in restaurants and chip shops to see if any had skate on the menu…NONE! How crazy is that?! A restaurant we had planned to go to, “Undercliffe House” was closed for no apparent reason, even when we retuned there at the end of our trek.

We didn’t have much luck and Ellie couldn’t walk any more, so we drove to a pub in Bexhill instead!! No wonder Hastings fishermen can’t make a living if even the local restaurants aren’t buying their fish!  I fail to see any logic in any of this.

Along with all the paperwork handed to you when you take over the caravan was an offer for 15% off your next booking ! So first thing we went to reception and booked 3 days away for a few weeks time, at a different park.

Later in the morning we set off for Brede High Wood. So many bluebells, it was beautiful but we followed one of the trails and had to sit down half way as it got a bit much for Ellie. In fact I thought Mal had got us lost but we did manage to find our way out eventually.

We then went for our lunch to the Ash Tree pub. Last time we were here, it was fabulous food. Again I ordered the fish pie as it was so good last time. We waited for over half an hour and then they decided to tell me they didn’t have any left!! If we hadn’t waited so long we could have gone somewhere else. Instead I ordered fish and chips which was nowhere near as good. Disappointing. In the evening we went to the clubhouse. Tonight we had a free glass of wine!
