After our busy days yesterday, babysitting for me and a trip to London for himself, we decided to have a lay in this morning. This involves letting the puppies out for a wee then racing upstairs to stake a claim in the bed. The pups sleep downstairs so coming up for a cuddle is a great treat, especially when I took toasted bagels up too. We lay in bed watching clouds for an hour or so.

We decided to walk in Hastings to make more of a day of it. Our walk took us up steep paths ending up at the castle. The climb was breath taking, and I don't mean just the view. We puffed and creaked our way up the hills! We stopped for coffee and cake at tourist prices before choosing a more gentle route back to the car.

Even the dogs were pleased to get home to rest. We made a vague promise about increasing our fitness and eating less cake. Hopefully we will have forgotten that by next weekend!
