Staycation trip 4
Our fourth excursion saw us going to Rye, on the train to save Robert having to drive. It is a nice journey - down to Brighton and then along the coast via Hastings but takes a while. Rye is gorgeous but the streets aren't good if you are wearing heels - lots of hills and cobbles. We were surprised to see how many cafes and shops were closed given it is still September, but we were able to find a little cafe for lunch and thought of Sally B (see the day 2 post) as we had a huge and delicious cupcake each for dessert! We then had a wander round some of the old streets, past the Mermaid and under the one surviving city gate and had a look at the old cannons pointing out across the marshes. The Arts Festival was on so many of the houses had pictures and sculptures on display and I bought some old china in a lovely shop. The time just seemed to fly by as we pottered around not doing very much really but just enjoying the time off - after another pit stop for a teacake (all these posts seem to be obsessed with food!) we realised we had been there four hours and needed to get home before our cats thought we had deserted them! Lovely weather, warm sunshine - nice day.
