As many times as I have been to the quaint town of Lewes for antique shopping,
I have never posted a blog ~
Here is Lewes…..
About an hour train ride out of Victoria Station…..
Home to Lewes Castle, Harvey's Brewery, and Anne of Cleaves House…….
and believe it or not, Thomas Paine,
Father of the American Revolution!
on a beautiful mid-March day!
On our way up the hill from the train station we are tempted by the bakery windows…..
Sticking to the mission…..
Eve, Sandra, and Natalie at our first stop - the Antique Centre
the Oyster plates are still there….
What, none of us are looking for silver napkin rings???
Up the hill with a left turn at this memorial intersection…..
the Lewes Flea Market always promises treasures…..
some more interesting than others…..
Sandra has a thing for elephants, but this elephant foot planter ~
maybe not!
(It would be funny to see others reactions with it in the seat next to us on the train!)
Heading back down the hill the village comes alive….
The best part of the day is always lunch at Bill's…..
starting with a refreshing 'spring-like'
Prosecco and Elderflower spritzer!
There are several more fun antique shops along main street
where I found what I was looking for…
but not the right 'colours'!
Time to catch the train back to London….
where Sandra and I, bribed by a piece of chocolate - we are so easy,
filled out a questionnaire from a student in Brighton
majoring in Restaurant Management.
Judging by the look on our faces, we wanted to make an A+!!!
It was another great day out of the city with friends!
