Hung out to dry?

Left Tunbridge Wells after breakfast. Delayed as Mr B couldn't find his bus pass, a small amount of cash, and his debit card (all in the same cover). A quick search through his bag, the room, and the room we moved from yesterday - was in vain. Luckily easy to block the debit card in the app, and nothing had been charged.

Stopped off at Lewes on the way back and walked up (very steep High St) and back down.

Next stop at a cafe close to Bognor Regis to meet a friend I'd not seen for a couple of years.

Left by 3 as desperately wanted to avoid the Southampton traffic. Had a good run and was home by 4:30pm.

Pleased to be home. Switching off now. Need a good night's sleep.
