After an awful lot of travelling a pleasure to spend a little time in Rye in South East England.

Much used for period filming it has some great buildings and cobbled streets.

Paulette and I particularly enjoyed this recent restoration job!

Centuries ago Rye was a seaport but the sea moved away. However, if you feel the pull of the sea as I do it’s not that far away. Just head for Winchelsea Beach. On the way, on a good day, you’ll notice beautiful and very distinctive sky scapes.

Put these with the ocean and you have something quite magical:

Now that’s what I call a day out!
