What a glorious day to wake up to a warm spring day for a change no need to wear a jacket. Looks like the weather is changing and we might be able to get the summer clothes out.

Bit unhappy this morning some gentleman from the site took Richard's shower gel, which he mistakenly left behind. It is amazing what can happen in five minutes, I was talking to Arthur about it this morning saying how low can a person go and Arthur said he knew Richard was showering and noticed a bottle of shower gel and gave it to me. Problem solved but it wasn't Richard’s probably the persons who swap his small bottle for Richards larger bottle.

Said our final goodbyes to Arthur and Edna they are travelling further west to the Little Hampton site near Chichester for three nights. The site is quite a distance further on from Hove where we are heading to Richards cousin Margo and Fred.

Had our last walk through the bluebells before heading off to Hastings down the little lanes, which are still hard to get used to. As the Site Manager said to us parking is expensive and difficult for a motorhome unless you want to park outside the town or catch a bus. He was right all Carparks have height barriers but we were lucky to find a parking bay near the old part of Hastings.

Now we have three hours to explore Hastings Old town, firstly we walked by Hastings Adventure Golf, the trampolines, Flamingo Fun Park (nothing much happening) the followed the miniature railway line and the cute train passing all the Fishmongers selling fish from their tiny wooden stalls.

Hastings is meant to be home to the largest beach-launched fishing fleet in Europe but today the boats that were there looked old and dilapidated perched on the pebble beach. There are a lot of tall wooden towers/buildings where the fisherman dried their nets.

Looked through the Fisherman’s and Shipwreck Museum’s the history is very interesting, as is all the old wooden buildings in Rock-A-Nore Road one the fishing centre. Today, Hastings Old Town is a charming mix of half-timbered houses, narrow streets and passageways, known locally as "twittens". Nearly got lost going around these streets looking for where they filmed Foyle’s War a brilliant English show set in WW11.

Watched the water powered Funiculars go up and down steep East Hill before walking along George Street now a pedestrian street of beautiful old buildings run out of energy to go up the alleyways to Castle and Smugglers Adventure to see all about the smuggling days in Hastings.

Tried finding a second-hand bike for me but all too dear and a fish and chip lunch was more inviting. Just made it back to the motorhome in time as the three hours parking was up plus time is marching on and we need to find a site for tonight seeing Richards cousin want be back to Hove for another two nights.

Thought we would have a change and try a CL (Certificated Locations) site where there is only five pitches. When you join the Caravan and Motorhome you receive a Sites Directory and Handbook, so here goes. Sharnfold Farm is on the way to Hove just off the A27 and as usual got a little lost but we are improving, the lanes are tiny and we thought the motorhome had scratches along the left-hand side from the hedges.



Finally found the Sharnfold Farm and it is half the price of the big sites but the only thing they don’t have is a shower, which I overlooked so it looks like we will be having a Pommie wash tonight. Sat outside the motorhome in the sun enjoying our carrot cake and coffee when the weather suddenly changed and the rain set in so looks like it is an early night listening to the radio and bed.
