Monday early I took Hilary and Chas to catch the train home. Emma and I planned to travel east.
We set off at mid day. We stopped for lunch on a beach near Bexhill.
This was to be our stop for Tue and Wed night. It had unrivaled sea views and it was free. The only down side was that it was on a road and a car in the middle of the night thought it would be good fun to sound his horn all the way along where all the campers were parked. Just goes to show what nice people there are in the world.
After lunch we headed along the coast through Hastings and Rye and to Dungeness. A shingle wilderness with little houses dotted over it and a huge nuclear power station at the tip. This pic shows the lighthouse (spot the camper).
TUE
Having parked overnight at Great Dixter we were ready to visit the garden when it opened at 11.00 am.
We then moved on to Bodiam Castle (spot the camper). It was a great place to park and and amazing castle; builtin 1300's. A real castle where we climbed the towers and saw the holes in the roof of the gatehouse which were used to pour boiling tar on invade.rs. We watched the trains from the East Sussex and Kent railway go up and down whilst we were there.
Then on to Sissinghurst Castle garden near Cranbrook. At last I got to see the famous White Garden.

Then it was back to Bexhill to our favourite parking spot. On the way we stopped at Robertsbridge for Scampi and chips in a pub.
Wed
A lazy morning by the sea and then a ride on the Bluebell Railway. Emma wanted to go because she had never been on a steam hauled train before.I like steam trains. It was a great ride. The cariages were
pulled by a massive steam engine. Emma was amazed at its size. 
Befrore the train we parked at Sheffield Park Garden for lunch. I had a quick look in the garden.

Today is the day we planned to return home with stops on the way. Charleston Farmhouse was our first stop. Then Devil's Dyke for lunch.
