A weekend in the countryside ...

It was another bank holiday here in the UK so we packed our belongings in the car along with Ernie and headed off to Battle on the Sussex Coast to join my mum and dad in their caravan for the weekend. We arrived about 8.30pm and settled in for the night.
We couldn't have asked for better weather, Saturday we awoke to blue skies and sunshine which lasted all day. We took a wander around Battle town centre and bought some nicknacks including some beautiful port glasses and tumblers from a charity shop for the bargain price of £2.50 for 4! Sunday was another beautiful day so we decided to go on a long walk through the woods to the pretty little village of Catsfield and spend the afternoon drinking in the pub. It was lovely!
We returned Monday evening, full and tired from a lovely weekend but rested and happy to be home in our little house.
I couldn't have planned a better weekend, sunshine, card games, pub drinks and crisps, walking in the countryside and lots and lots of fun!

1066 County...

The bank holiday weekend in May was Ashley's birthday. We packed up our belongings and wee Ernie and headed to Battle a small medieval town on the outskirts of Hastings...(the actual place where the battle of 1066 was supposed to have happened) It was a beautiful long weekend, sunny and relaxing.

We had dinner in a local pub called The Squirrell where Ash ordered the biggest Fish and chips i had ever seen!

On the Sunday we walked through the woods and discovered the most enormous rhododendrons and another little pub in Catsfield where we drank beer in the garden before heading back along the winding lanes home.

It was a beautiful weekend, and finally it seems to be looking like summer!
