I am very lucky that I live in a beautiful town situated on the South Coast. To the south of my house I have the English Channel which is only 5 minutes away by car and to the North I have the beautiful Sussex Downs.
There is nothing better than going to the beach on a cold day when the sea is really rough.It gives me time to blow all the cobwebs away and take stock of everything that is going on. Come the summer it’s not so much fun when all the tourists descend on us, but there are still some little private coves I can head off too.
As though that wasn’t enough, we have within walking distance of our house quite a few restaurants and pubs, so after work it’s really easy to pop out for a drink.
Each year during spring, one of the local pubs puts on a massive wine festival.Now that spring is within sight I haven’t got long to wait now and am starting to count down the days to this year’s festival.I was totally amazed the last time I went at the huge assortment of wines available, some from countries I didn’t even think produced wine!
Mind you the event is becoming so popular you have to buy your ticket way in advance.It’s quite a good deal though because for just a few Pounds I get to enjoy as much wine as I like.
Last year (early on in the day I hasten to add), I can remember sampling some German Wine, a lovely Portuguese Wine and some tasty Italian Wine. Anything I consumed after this has been forgotten, due to the fact I had drunk too much of the Italian wine!
This year, I think I am going to have to pace myself a little better it’s because not every day you get to sample so many tasty wines and get money back Ten Pounds!!
