15th century bookshop in Lewes
A Lewes resident
Today I had a lovely day at Lewes. Lewes is the county town of East Sussex. It’s current claims to fame are its castle, built soon after the Norman invasion in 1066, a house bought for Anne of Cleves, little Saxon lanes running between rows of houses and shops called twittens, and a huge and rowdy bonfire night in November. I was met at the train station by a cousin of John’s – the daughter of the couple in Oxford- and her husband. We went back to their home by a very circuitous route to give me an idea of the layout of the town. We sat and chatted and chatted and then walked via the castle to the high street and had lunch at a restaurant run by another family member with their daughter. We walked back to their home and talked some more and then I came home.
This place charges ₤5 for 24 hour internet or ₤30 for 1 week. What I do is start a 24hour period at say 8pm one evening, put a post on my blog, answer emails etc and then the following evening, assuming I am organized, I can put that day’s post onto the blog before the 24 hour period runs out. Then I start another 24 hour period the following evening, thus only paying for 1 day every 2. I had a win yesterday. My 24 hour period was due to run out at 7pm, I got on the bus outside the Wolsely at 6.30, rushed home, sent a few quick emails and realized I was still connected. I had forgotten about day light saving and I had 1 hour more than I thought.
