Now we’re well and truly settled in sunny Brighton, we felt it was about time we actually ventured out and started to sample what’s in the surrounding area.

It was a surprisingly sunny morning, so we thought we’d give Rottingdean a go. It was recommended to us by my hairdresser, she reckoned it’s a very ‘Olde English’ pretty village.

She was right. The pictures below aren’t perfect as they were taken with my iPhone, but they’ve come out pretty well.

A short 15 minute bus ride out of Brighton (in a car probably more like 5 minutes as it’s very close indeed), we found a very pretty little village.

First stop - as ever - was lunch. We went for a traditional Sunday Roast and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was in the Queen Victoria pub .We’ll be going back.

Full up it was time to wander. A quick look on Wikipedia had told us it was where Rudyard Kipling lived, his house is still there with a park attached.

Then we came across the ‘Private Village Club’ whatever that means.

Then the local church.

Then we were gobsmacked to see the most beautiful old Tudor Mansion, now apartments.

And finally a far-way shot of the villages famous windmill. We didn’t manage to get up to it this time.
