Woke at 0845. Hauled ourselves upright and descended to the dining room for breakfast. I enjoyed the eggs royale. Drove on down the A21 to Hastings, and found Tony busy vacuuming ahead of our arrival. We had a cuppa tea in the front yard, then jumped in his Seat and he drove us to Guestling for a walk in the bluebell woods with Piper. Parked up by an impressive little church and churchyard, St Laurence’s parish church. Drove to Pett hoping to find lunch in the Two Sawyers, but they had closed the kitchen by the time we rocked up. 

Decided to lunch back at Tony’s…Aki and he put a salad lunch together and we ate outside in the back garden. Ventured across the road to The Beacon for dinner…they’d set up a pop up pizza oven, but I went for their bahn mi pork belly sandwich, as the pizza toppings were all a bit too weird...kimchi and pineapple? Returned to 12a St Mary’s Terrace and watched an unknown Chinese chap knock the World Champion out in the first round of the Snooker World Championship from Sheffield.
