T.O.H is thinking "just one good push...."Well all good and nice things must end so its the last actual week of holidays here in Leicestershiirreee, two more days of play scheme work and one Friday off a long weekend and back to work (queue the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs)
We did manage to go on holiday the other week which was all rather jolly, first up a hour trip down to Eastbourne, as I think Lee Evans once said lots of ramps) nice to be the youngest people in a town, well apart from the odd depressed group of youths in a car. Anyway We stayed at a hotel called the Big Sleep co owned by John Malkovich (sadly he wasnt dressed as a bell boy as I hoped complete with tiny hat)
John realizing he forgot his tiny bell boy hatAnyway The hotel and Eastbourne were rather nice indeed, sea walks, massive delicious turkish dinners, even more massive walks through Beachy head (not to close to the edge though) and a visit to the George Musgrave museum....
havent head of George Musgrave, well basically just think of your average person well if that person had in their life invented a new type of toy, helped come up with the idea of double yellow lines ( and other areas of road safety) been a missionary, spent 30 years researching and painting the life of Saint Paul along the way discovering the spot where St Pauls ship was ship wrecked, ran to be an MP, painted hundreds of pictures, wrote lots of poems been on a number of TV and radio programs and lived in a windmill (the last one not quite and achievement but still rather impressive) and at 95 years of age still finds time to man the museum almost every day. If your in Eastbourne I do recommend a visit not just to learn about an interesting person then to see his interesting array of archaeological finds, collection of cameras and dioramas and collection of paintings here's the man himself.
Anyway yes an interesting place to visit but make sure you leave at least an hour to see everything.
Finally we stopped off for some pie and eels (see me scoffing my face below) hmmm eel before heading off to Brighton which as its late and Ive got crumble to eat will hold off for another day.
Anyway Eastbourne, not as many ramps as you think and all rather nice
