Back Home Again

After a lovely week in West Sussex, being spoilt by Steve and able to take full advantage of Fay and Pete's lovely house while they were out in the Algarve - Pete playing golf with his son Jonathan and Fay shopping with Charlie (Jonathan's girl friend from Charlbury), we have returned to our little home in K/S.
The beautiful house (Fay and Pete Hayes') was like living in a five star hotel, with five star attention (from Steve) and looks as if it were built in the 30's but in fact, although old styling, the house is remarkably up-to-date with all the benefits of being built in the 1980's, with d/g, central heating from a massive Aga cooker in the kitchen, tv's in all rooms, an enormous d/g conservatory, en-suite rooms in two bedrooms but with a super bath/shower room for the other two bedrooms (actually one is Pete's study) and one where we slept. Steve took us to the well stocked nearby towns of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Cuckfield, and also to the coast at Brighton, where we lunched on fish and chips on the Pier - no, not the West one!!
12 miles and less than 10 minutes, and we were back to the house in Ansty. All good things come to an end and we set off up the A23/M23 on Sunday, with a stop at Crawley to visit the loo in the beautiful modern shopping centre and on to the M25 where we had to crawl along for about 20 minutes, due to an accident. All this meant we had to leave the M40 at Beaconsfield for another p, but we were soon back in our own village. Thanks to Fay and Pete, and of course, to our dear Steve.G&G
