Eastbourne, plates & au revoir

Dorothy treated us to an excellent Thai takeaway last night and Jackie joined us. We journeyed to Eastbourne this morning where Bea gave us a lovely ham & chicken salad followed by trifle, delicious. We took the scenic route via Newhaven, passing the old Tidal Mills where I photographed Clouded Yellows last year. I asked Bea and Dorothy to pose in Bea's new front garden which looks great and easy to maintain.

After lunch we dropped Dorothy off at the station in time for her train to Ramsgate where she is visiting Natasha and David before heading back to New Zealand on Monday. It has been an enjoyable week with Dorothy and we are very pleased she decided to visit us following her skiing trip in Denver. It was also an opportunity to return hospitality shown to us in New Zealand in previous years.

Bea has some plates she would like to identify if anyone has any ideas.
