We'd heard about an arty fundraiser in Eastbourne and they wanted people to donate postcard sized paintings to exhibit and sell off. So we painted two postcards, and we're going to take them over to one of the drop off points in Eastbourne today.
So we headed into town and waited for the 12X bus over to Eastbourne.
We got a window seat!
Ooooo! Art Deco!
There's some proper posh buildings down here you know!
And a windmill!!
That's Saltdean Lido, another art deco building!
WHAT? WAIT!!!! Stop the bus!!!! CAYKE!!!
We're going through countryside now.
It's very pretty round here
Except the bushes keep getting in the way of taking a decent picture!!
Ah, that's better!
There's a pretty church too
Aha!! We got off here at the station!
Right ho, we've got to go down here now.
Ooo that's pretty! But it's not the drop off point.
Andrea says it's down here somewhere.
Ooooo singing bowls?? Not the drop off point.
Here we are!!! Sicilia-Qui coffee shop, this is the drop off point!!!
Here is it!! The official postbox and it already had some postcards in it!
So we popped ours in too!!
And then stopped for a coffee!!
We were staving hungry by now so we went over the road for a late lunch.
Turkish.
Right ho, let's peruse the menu....
We got a fizzy drink.....
And they brought over some little cracker things with two different dips to nibble on.
The crackers were proper yum!
We ended up getting a creamy chicken with some rice and a salad - house special apparently and it was YUMBO!!! We'd have this again - way too much of it though but it was really good!!
After we completely stuffed our faces, we decided to head off back home.
So we sauntered off to find the bus stop.
We went upstairs for the return trip.....
We got a fabulous view!!
It's gorgeous countryside round here.....
And that's Cuckmere Haven over there!!
See?!
We must come out here for a proper look one day
I'm glad we came out today!
We're in Newhaven now - can you see the ferry in the distance?!?!? That's the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry!
The nose has tipped up to let the cars drive on!
It's interesting round here, eh?!
Oh!! BEAR!!
We went along the coast for a while....
You can just see the cliffs on the right hand side....
sort of, if you squint a bit.....
That's Brighton Marina there!
And there's Brighton Pier!
Glorious weather today too...
That was a very fancy hotel but it burnt down a few years ago. Think part of it will end up demolished....
And we got off here at the last stop.
Then we walked round the corner to get another bus from here.
And got off here......!
And I found a shiny penny on the way home too!!!
