This is in the garden at Charleston farmhouse.Just returned home. It was a whirlwind week, starting with washout weather on Monday. All settled happily in the hotel and the guest house.
Minor problems throughout were getting people on and off the coach which took ages each time - one helper inside and one helper outside in case of falls, requests about baths and showers at the beginning of the holiday, problems with rollators and stairs.
The hotel were very decent and helpful, and apparently willingly changed their own nice salad leaves for iceberg lettuce on request!
We had a very successful day out in Brighton, stopping at Devil's Dyke for refreshments and viewing of hang gliding on the way. At Brighton the coach parked fairly close to the Lanes, the Pavilion, the Pier, and most importantly Harry Ramsdens for fish and chips. On the way back, there was a rather blustery chilly stop, again for refreshments, at Beachy Head. Another day out was to Rye Market and Hastings. There was a theatre trip to a variety show one evening, which proved very successful indeed.
Romy had a call from another hotel where our guests had left a key, but this problem was solved as they turned out to have another key and the hotel agreed to send the keys back. Medical problems included dizzy spells, a fall necessitating a hospital visit for x-ray ( poor Romy did not get back until 3.45am) and on the last night, a couple of people feeling unwell and having early nights. The weather had been fine during the day for nearly all of the week, but had not stopped pouring most nights. It was a very successful week, but I for one, was extremely glad to be back.
