SUSSEX SOJOURN

SUSSEX SOJOURN     

It has become a family tradition, when visiting the Sussex branch of our family – on a fine summer day to say
‘Let’s go to Nymans.’
Nymans is a beautiful local garden open to the public.  We set off in two cars – the men leading the way and following tradition found it was closed so - as was our wont- we decided to go to Wakehurst Place – the only difference being that this time the men got lost and, as it is written in tablets of stone that men must never ask for directions the whole morning was spent up and down the highways and byways of Sussex.
Eventually we happened upon it and my daughter in law, grand-children and I manfully did not smirk or snigger.  At all!

Wakehurst Place holds the famous Kew Garden unique collection of endangered plants and the staff spend many years experimenting to produce seeds.  It is all very clearly laid out and tabulated and the gardens are a joy to wander round.

My D in L – who spoils me rotten took me for a treat to a beauty salon – hence the fish, I had the best facial ever which encompassed head, neck and hand massage.
Bliss!

Sussex in the summer is stunning.  A great little break.
