Yes, my Turkish friend and I are leaving our husbands behind to visit her family. I have met some of them already when they were here but she's letting me tag along.

The battlefield is still intact and you can still feel the vibes. The English and Normans left the ground consecrated.
Pevensey and Hastings are ruins, but still enough left to explore and climb in.

Seven Sisters are some of the most inspiring cliffs! (almost got blown off!)
It was a grande adventure for sure!

The largest medieval fayre in England is just that! HUGE! Herstmanceux Castle is fantastic and a wonderful setting for an event!

I love this place!!

(trying to get pics up) one moment please...

welcome home!


oh gosh, this trip just sounded so amazing!

This is what is left of Hastings Castle which is owned by the local council.

Did you see a re-enactment whilst you were there - a wonderful sight.

Even after living half a lifetime here I've still not seen half the country as well as I should have.

This castle...............

That's cheating, that castle is a complete different one, nice though.
Not open to the public, that's a shame.
