A Week in Littlehampton and Eastbourne

Lovely blog and pics,Yorkshire..:o) Glad you had a good holiday..We went to Eastbourne about 3 years ago,but our hotel was more like Fawlty Towers and a muckhole..!,
yours sounds lovely..Its nice to go on holiday here,we enjoy it.Beachy head is a great place,isn't it? How nice to meet up with Holly,and have lunch together..and plants as well.! Petworth Hall and gardens looks well worth a visit too.I haven't heard of it before..maybe we will venture there again,sometime..and put the bad experience behind us...It couldn't be any worse,that's for sure ! Lol..

glad you two girls enjoyed looking at my blog, no fire flies this time H/B. what did you think of the Fig then, I will start your cutting this week, sorry to hear about your Fawlty Towers Bloomer, our hotel was excellent, First time I have been to Eastbourne, it was nice and great to meet up with Holly.

Hi Yorkshire...great blog, glad you enjoyed yourself, hope you are well rested...I love Hollyeves beach, isn't she lucky to have that?
I haven't been to many places in UK...but i would love a few days in Cornwall...maybe later in the year..im off to Poland 23rd June to my nephews wedding, looking forward to that.....Thanks for sharing your time in Littlehampton and Eastbourne with us...great pics xx

Thanks Mot, hope you have a great time in Poland, pictures please, I will be going south the same time for my 65th birthday with my kids, we are thinking of going to cornwall also, not like us to holiday in the U.K. but it beats flying,

What a wonderful blog at least you came back to us and did nt jump of Beachyhead lol Lovely rose of your daughters, and what beautiful scenes and a beautiful blue sea at Holly s , the hotel looked great and those Rhododendrons and that beautiful tree , by the way did you do the washing up in that kitchen before you left lol last time I went to Little Hampton was when I was 13 went around Arundel castle

no I did not wash up dear, I was the lady of the house for a day, Lol, glad you enjoyed looking,OH tried to get me near the edge at Beachy head but I was not playing his game, !!!

I don't blame you glad you were the lady of the day makes a change does nt it, I gather then your O H took the photo of the light house then and you had nt got him insured. lol

I'm pleased you had a good time down here in the South, Yorkshire and how lovely to have visited Petworth House & Gardens. Those kitchens are just amazing aren't they? It makes you realise just how much hard work it took to prepare meals back then, a real glimpse of 'Upstairs, Downstairs'. Were there any Deer in the park? Glad you met up with Holly and got to see the beach too. I haven't been to Eastbourne for years, used to live at Hailsham, just north of the town, but I expect it's changed a lot since those days! Love the Pier at night photos, not too sure about the sculptures though! : o )

you probally know the kitchens are built away from the house and the maids had to take all the food under a tunnel to the main house, apparently the lady of the house did not want cooking smells getting into the furniture,no we did not see any deer unfortunately, it was really nice to meet up with Holly, the beach is less than 2 minutes walk from her house, glad you enjoyed the blog Shirley.

I promise to do it this week H/B and will post it when it has rooted,

Glad that you had such a lovely trip ; so restorative isn't it just to have time to relax and enjoy our surroundings ?
Great pictures .

absolute gorgeous pics - saved this :):):):)

My Brother lives in Eastbourne. He is aways telling me how nice it is down there, and says I ought to be there too. I am hoping to go and see him this year sometime, with a bit of luck . Tom.

Thanks for sharing your weeks holiday with us loved all the photos, so pleased you had a lovely time and meeting Holly, i think Britain as some beautiful places.

great blog yorkshire and so glad you enjoyed your trip and your visit with Holly, so nice to meet other members after chatting for so long isnt it. lovely pictures and really like the octopuss sculpture :o))

Lovely blog Yorkshire, those gardens are a treat to see and although I wouldn`t want to have to work in a kitchen like that I am always fascinated by them when visiting these grand old houses.. You have some fabulous photo`s of what was obviously a very enjoyable week.
Pleased you had a good time and thanks for sharing..

lovely pics, liked the lighthouse at beachy head ones best & Holly,s beach..lucky girl , glad you both got to meet .:o))

Hi Yorks, glad you enjoyed your trip and your visit to see Holly. Lovely blog, years since I went there, so would probably see a difference now. I've just got back too.

Hi Cinders,nice to see you again..hope you had a great holiday..:o)

Thanks Sandra. Will put a blog on tomorrow. Hope yours was good too.

Haven't been yet Cinders..go on Wednesday! Lol..

Great blog Yorkie. Hope you found your family well. We often take a split holiday like this, like the variety. Went to Petworth last year in the spring but a bit of a walk from car park!! Still there are some good specimen plants on the way. Holly got a great location! Glad you had a good time.

I've not been to this part of the UK so very much enjoyed your photos. The photos of Eastbourne by night with all the twinkling lights was particularly nice :)

A bonus for you to meet Hollyeves too...lots to natter about and a very nice beach so close to her home.

Thanks for your lovely comments Driad, Paul, Clarice, Surryelad,Sandra, Lincass, Joanella, Cinders, Bloomer, Tet, and Whistonlass, so glad you all enjoyed my blog, Tom you really must visit Eastbourne its very nice,our daughter decided its time we moved down South so we were slightly bullied in a nice way all weekend, but neither of us wants to move, to much hassle, just waiting for the other three kids to start on us now, Lol, it was lovely to meet Holly, she is very very nice, hope to meet up with more of you as promised in the near furture, many thanks all of you,
