John Burke's Hastings, August 1999
Rye
Friday 6 August 1999

Continuing our stroll around the town of Rye.

Many buildings in this part of England are covered in wooden weatherboarding.
In one of the many bookshops I found a couple of Billy Bunter books!

"I say you fellows - Yarooh!!!"

Then unexpectedly we came to Rye Castle - and found it small, but the perfect image of a castle!
Just beyond the castle was a small garden complete with a brace of cannon. Here the rest of the family line up whilst I take aim...
Away from the main road and onto the cobbles!

Right is the House With Two Front Doors! There was also The House With The Seat - it had a stone seat next to the front door!
The old inn looked very inviting and I stopped to admire the old timbers and carvings.
As the rest of the family totally ignored it and carried on up the hill - I took a wistful sniff at the door...

Well, that's Friday over and done with... What's that? We have to go home tomorrow???
