Moving On

Next place we wanted to go to was Kent, Canterbury to be exact. Trouble there is it's over a hundred miles from where we were staying outside Chichester and we try to do now more than 50 miles away.

Try as we might, there was nowhere open this time of year in Sussex that had adequate facilities. So, we ended up booking into a Caravan Club Site in Redhill. Only these sites are never where they say the are, they are often a few miles outside the town the name themselves after. We know this and it wasn't a problem as we were only staying a couple of nights'

However before we reached Redhill, I wanted to stop off at Midhurst, in Sussex. A very quaint old town, which featured prominently in Green Darkness by Anya Seyton, probably one of my favourite novels. 

The ancient inn, The Spread Eagle is somewhere I would love to go and stay but never felt I had the money to spare. The Cowdray ruins with the long causeway across the boggy pastures leading to the gates are both mysterious and romantic.
