Wish you were here…
The weather has been fantastic in Eastbourne this weekend. We’ve just returned from tea at the Cavendish Hotel, where we spent the last hour or so relaxing and people watching – and there were so many people to watch. The tide was out when we first went out and a few brave people were taking the plunge. The beach was full of families and young couples; rollerbladers and runners sailed along the prom, and children ran into the sea… Last night Mike and I ate at Michael Angelo’s Italian restaurant, in South Street. A lovely traditional restaurant, with great food and brilliant service. I had a lovely starter, peppers stuffed with capers, followed by Halibut. Mike had whitebait, and a steak! This morning we were up early and I ran on the Downs with five other runners from our group. We ran from here to Birling Gap, through the fields to Friston, and then to Butts Brow, 15.5miles and a glorious day on the spectaculour South Downs…
