Toasted Teacakes

We've had a fine day in blustery Eastbourne. We sent off all of our summer clothes to Dorian for safe keeping. We have been trying to walk as much as we can to build up our walking stamina. Yesterday we walked over to mail our package and since it was much less than we had expected, we stopped for toasted teacakes. We had these delightful treats as a gesture to our good friends the Grahams who, we were sure, would have wanted us to do. We then walked on a few blocks to the beginning of the South Downs Way walk. It's a 100 mile walk that we did in part with the Grahams and in part by ourselves. It brought back a very pleasant memory to see the sign and to walk up that first green hill. We just went a mile or so and looked over the seaside town and then came back.
Today was much windier and we decided not to do the 4 mile walk that we were going to do. Sunday or Monday sound better. Tonight we had a fine dinner out with the Prices. Timothy and Matthew are wonderful boys with so many skills and talents. It will be fascinating to see what they end up doing with their lives.
We happened upon the house that was home to Sir Ernest Shackleton, explorer. His son, I think, attended the school where Janet and Brian, our hosts, are presently teaching.
