FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

more participants at Susanne at Living to tell the Story.

1. I had a nice trip in the Eurostar from Brussels to Ashford (England), but was not very lucky with the weather. I left in a T-shirt and the sun was shining and I arrived in rain and it was quiet cool only 17 °C. My friend picked me up from the station and we had a lot to chat.

2. We went to Goring visiting a catholic church which had very beautiful ceiling painting. It was really amazing



3. After visiting we were very hungry and found a very cosy "Carvery"



My friends Anne and Doug at the entrance



There was a great choice and we had a real nice meal

4. In Eastbourne the airshow started so we went to the beach to watch the old and new airplanes



sitting here Anne and I had a sandwich and ice cream while watching the airplanes.



There were a lot of people and we had a lot of fun too. It was the first day of the airshow which lasts 4 days.

5. It was just a year that I hadn't been in Eastbourne so I enjoyed a little walk through this



beautiful city. I met my beloved seagulls, and everybody shakes their heads when I say that ! The locals don't like them at all.

HOLIDAYS IN ENGLAND

Since 3 years I spent a week with my friends living in Eastbourne at the coast, not very far from London.

The first day we went visiting her daughter and I took the opportunity to see the street where our son lived for ten years and where he still has his house.

I got a bit nostalgic when I thought how many times I went down this street !

The grandchildren had 5 rapids, that was also an event. They started with two thinking it was two females, now there is the result. Three babies found another home !



We had a nice tea time all sitting in the garden and then the next neighbour gave us these delicious plate of Algerian biscuits over the fence.
The promenade along the sea in Eastbourne is just lovely



lots of seagulls are shouting at the people and are angry when you don't give food. They can be quite some aggressif and would take your sandwich out of your hand, just like that.

A couple of "Bobbies" were enjoying the promenade too !



People could rent a beach chair or just sat on the little wall.
There were not many people on the beach or in the water, for that it was not warm enough.

The next day they took me to the country side and nobody really can deny it !


We stopped for lunch in a Pub "Golden Gallon" near Alfriston a lovely little town where the time stood still.



They served traditional English food and I had chicken pie with chips and peas. The portion was enormous in comparison to what we get in Belgium.

We ate outside and the view was gorgious

The village of Alfriston, so romantic !

In Eastbourne the annual Air show has started which will last until sunday. I had never seen such an event so I took the bus to Eastbourne, to have a look.

There were so many people from all over who watched the airplanes and the atmosphere was absolutely great. Everybody talked to everybody and I really had a lot of fun. Today we will go for a pic nic to "Beachy Head" above the sea and watch the airshow from there. Of course I will show you pictures too.
