Camping In East Sussex (Part 8)

Our final stop on our mini trip was into the town of Hastings. Hastings may have become one of my favourite places in England. It just has everything you want in a seaside town. If you ever want to go on a really stereotypical trip to a British beach, go to Hastings.

The Jerwood Gallery was an amazing gallery, the particular exhibit I went to see was a display of Jeffrey Camp's work. His work really reminded me of Van Gogh's with Jeffrey's own unique element thrown in to every one of his paintings. I also may have done a bit too much shopping in Hastings, in fact I almost bought a bike but my mum spent a long time convincing me it wouldn't fit in the van.





So that's it, East Sussex I miss you, and hopefully I will see you again some time soon.

Camping In East Sussex (Part 4)

The rest of our venture in to Battle was pretty awesome. The home of The Battle of Hastings has so much to offer for such a small town, one of these offerings obviously being the location of the fight itself (as well as a few adorable tea rooms)










This tree reminded me of The Lion King, hence why I took a picture of it.

This feels like a very lazy post. Okay, it is a very lazy post.

Camping In East Sussex (Part 3)

There's a town not far from Broad Oak Brede called Battle, it gained this name after being the home of The Battle of Hastings. It is also the home of a little museum I visited named 'Yesterday's World'. However when you step through it's doors, you are taken back a bit further than the day before.

My mother was in her element, she somehow managed to relate to every single piece she saw and had a novel length story to tell every five minutes. The museum was by far the sweetest place I had ever visited and I would recommend it to anyone who has a soft spot for vintage.

Camping in East Sussex (Part 1)

Recently, me, my mother and step-father decided we needed a last minute break away from our normal day to day lives. So we booked a pitch at the first camp site we could think of, packed up my mums VW and hit the road.
We ended up heading to a village called Broad Oak Brede, located somewhere between Hastings and Rye. It was beautiful, and I took more pictures than I could count. Today I thought I would show you just a few of them. Ones that will let you see just how picturesque our temporary home was.









I come from a family of pretty dedicated campers, and one thing me and my mum have to make whenever we hit the road is baked bananas with melted chocolate. You will never eat anything better when all you have to cook with is a barbecue.

I have many more pictures to come and am really looking forward to showing them to you. The trip was almost perfect, minus a family camping round the corner from us who weren't quite as relaxed as they should have been. 

PS. Thank you so much for the followers I have recently gained. I hope you enjoy the future posts I have planned.
