Up a note for breakfast at 9 AM!! Going to drive to Hanworth (20 min) To get Joan to go to Eastbourne for a day – come back tomorrow – raining a bit.

The sun came out for three minutes yesterday – apparently the first time since Christmas!! Mild though – about 42°F. 

Left Joan’s house at noon. The gang were there to see us off. Had a lovely drive down.”South” – The sun came out and made a pleasant day. Stopped at East Granstead for a pint and lunch. We arrived at our destination about 3 PM.

Found Beryl and Mike’s place after asking a few questions. Saw June and David and after a short visit, we went out to find a bed for the night. Got A few beds – like a double room for us, and one twice the size with single beds for Joan. 

Back to Beryl’s for tea. Saw my aunt Bob for an hour – looks like my mom – found the Burlington hotel bar – stayed till closing – our hotel is the Cumberland - overlooking the sea.

Up and at breakfast by 930 – Joanne enjoyed her palatial room and bath. Took a drive up Beachy Ppoint in Sussex – breathtaking view – but breezy – came back by way of Red Hill and Box Hill, and easily found our way to Joan’s - dropped her off and went back to East Grinstead for the night at a beautiful hotel called Ye Olde Felbridge Hotel complete with swimming pool. Down to visit a few pubs and so to bed.
