Day 4: Tuesday 8th June 2010

A wet morning, we packed our coats and boots to head off for Sissinghurst. While we were waiting for the place to open, got the message from Chris that Kate had died overnight.

Spent most of the day walking round the gardens and dodging the rain showers.

Headed to Bexhill for the late afternoon to see the De La Warr pavilion, a modernist architectural wonder which had Antony Gormley's Critical Mass installed on the roof. Lots of photos.

Went for a cup of tea in a cafe in the back streets of Bexhill. Lots of closed shops or shops catering the the needs of the older members of the community “Zimmer clearance £10”. A repeat visit to the De La Warr for more photos before we joined the traffic queues on the coastal route back to Rye.

A quick rest and freshen up before heading to the Ypres Castle Inn for a great meal and a couple of pints.
