Trip de jour was to #rye in #eastsussex
I’ve been trying to take time off when the sun comes out and use the rainy days to write and catch up with things; it seems to work better for me.
So today the sun came out and I took a trip along the coast to an old English town with cobbled streets and a small gathering of antique shops. ☀️
☀️
☀️ #themadwomanintheattic #girlswhotravelsolo #myjourney #sixtyandfabulous #visitsussex #visituk🇬🇧 #cobbledstreets

Out enjoying #devilsdyke near #brighton UK.
The place got its name from local folklore saying the devil was digging a trench to flood all the nearby churches, but disturbed by an old woman he left the trench unfinished, flinging mud into the sea to make the Isle of Wight.
In Victorian times it was the site of a funfair with merry go rounds and bandstands and a funicular and train line. There’s no longer a train line; now if you want to get there on public transport your only option is bus 77, which only runs weekends.
Lots of walks there, people enjoying the fresh air and such but the funfair long since gone. ☀️
😊

One of those nights when nature provides its own Instagram filter.
I’ve been manacled to my computer all week desperately trying to get on top of everything, so it felt good to get out today, even if it was just for a walk along the beach. 🏖

#beachlife Dubai style. I read that Dubai is flooded now; we knew the rain was coming this weekend but you never know quite how much. This is from my last day in the city on Wednesday and no sign of rain here. ☀️

My favourite part of Dubai was still the old town. These pictures are from the gold Souk
It would have been nice to have had more of a poke around but the vendors were quite sales aggressive
I didn’t buy anything but then I really don’t shop anyway; I just enjoy looking. ☀️

The desert just waking up this morning near #dubai
I’m not someone who gets up early enough for #dawn very often so this is a rarity for me ☀️
