.... 11.00 John and I picked the
right day to go to Winchelsea; yesterday

damp’ .... not a day for going
out anywhere. It isn’t cold .... just
bleak looking.
I
have plenty to keep me going from yesterday’s trip; with much I want to look up: I love history. Winchelsea is only a small place, but a
classic example of English history, and why the town is where it is... and ...with
the town being small, it is easy to see the “whole picture”.... or
what remains of the whole picture.
22.00 ‘JB’ was going down to Eastbourne in the
afternoon so I went along for the ‘run’ .... he was only going to ASDA’s for
some shopping, but, with the weather being grey and miserable I thought I’d
take the chance of grabbing a few ‘wet
look’ photos from the car. Not that I
need more of those, but the hope was, that the weather might be brighter on the
coast. It wasn’t. Bumbling up and down the ASDA aisles (or

supermarket) is a good way exercising on a wet day.
This
afternoon I sorted out some more Winchelsea photographs; some of which are on my Facebook page. I have many more to ‘sort’, and some of
them will be added to FB later.
The
Sussex weather forecast for tomorrow is not cheerful .... more rain, with
wind. I might walk downtown if there
are dry spells; otherwise it will be
computer stuff and my book.
I
saw somewhere that Eastbourne is one of the most polluted places on the south
coast,

because it is ‘trapped’ between pollution from the London area, and pollution
coming over from the continent... depending on the wind direction. It’s a simple case of somebody else’s
pollution, ending up on somebody else’s doorstep.
