After checking out of Cavendish Hotel we headed west to the Seven Sisters Country Park . It was overcast , windy and cool.  After reaching the beach we tried to follow the footpath back but issed a turning and took a much longer route, but the sun came out and it grew pleasantly warm.   The Seven Sisters Lunch in park cafe, then a quick visit to Seaford before heading home.  Seaford Martello Tower   Inside Seaford Martello Tower

Arrived Friday evening, 18 May, staying in T he Cavendish Hotel.   View of Wish Tower from room balcony Saturday 19th walking and sightseeing in Eastbourne. The Redoubt , one of only three huge circular gun platforms with 23 cannons as part of defences aginst Napoleon, was built in such a rush that no magazine to store gunpowder was planned. Insie The Rodoubt Redoubt's Dry Moat Other end of beach is a Martello Tower (the Wish Tower) that would have mounted one cannon. Wish Tower Had a terrific lunch with home cooked food and good wine at Crown and Anchor pub.  It was Royal Wedding day, Harry and Meghan so lots of bunting was about, and then more exploring. End of beach, looking towards Seven Sisters cliffs.   Great Italian dinner and super wine at Rosetto Cafe Restaurant , and back in room watched end of a tribute band act on the bandstand below our balcony.  

  Today I broke my last IBM Education Services mug. This has the ES slogan  Business Needs Education , which I coined and proposed. IBM gave me a small award for it. I was much cheaper than using a branding consultant :) The slogan was on everything including course notes, pens, note pads and mugs. This one fell from its shelf and smashed one side in.
