On Tuesday I visited my brother who lives a few miles inland from Eastbourne. I was a little worried about how busy the train would be, but it was quiet. It was my brother’s birthday. He’d have been on his own and I felt it important to be there. I remember how much of damp squib my birthday was while we were deep in lockdown.
After lunch at my brother’s house we went into Eastbourne. There is something to be said for a seaside town not swamped by people like in Brighton. I guess people still associate Eastbourne with the older generation (which of course my brother and I are), but I’ve always loved the place. I felt quite safe, and we even took a stroll on the beach so I could get some close up photos and take a video.
At present Eastbourne has a big wheel, which I believe is staying now until the end of August. I treated us to a ride on it. That was great fun and really made the day. We wandered along the seafront, had a cuppa, and just enjoyed the sunshine. It was a beautiful day, so wonderful to be by the seaside again. This was the best day out this year.
