Having recently been to East Sussex and Kent here are a few photos from our time away.
arundel.jpg We stopped in Arundel for lunch on our way. Arundel Castle belongs to the Duke of Norfolk - the Earl Marshal of England, responsible for occasions such as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth 11 and the coronation of King Charles 111.
pett levels.jpgmilitary road.jpg Pett Levels - a walk along the beach path. Across the road and behind a bank are the old 'Military Road' and canal.


winchelsea-2.jpgWinchelsea - one of the old Cinque Ports. Near the church is this tree where Wesley preached his last open air sermon
rye.jpg The church is in the old town in Rye, another Cinque Port. Good coffee and lunches in the nearby cafe.

willesborough.jpg We were at Willesborough for a church meeting - with church members from as far afield as Walsall and Birmingham as well as Devon.
Waiting for the weather to improve here before we walk locally again!
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
I feel incredibly fortunate to live so close to the stunning Sierra de Guadarrama in Madrid. Recently, I had the chance to tackle a challenging but rewarding hike up to Pico de La Maliciosa, with breathtaking views 2,227m above sea level.
