Phew what a scorcher…
You can keep your Costa Brava, and all that palava… Eastbourne was sizzling today… We started the day with a long run (17 miles on the Downs – and a bit sunburnt), then it was crashing out on the double deckchair at the beach with the papers and marmite sarnies, and the sound of a traditional brass band playing on the Bandstand… Our guests are watching or organising the tennis (the LTA stay here in tennis week) – and of course, soaking up the sunshine. The sea was cold but crystal clear today – and blissful for me after my long run. Next week, we’re looking forward to watching the tennis – full value for money this year, with both men and women playing, then it’s Ascot… I love the summer in England.
