Day Two
Ate breakfast at the Greyfriar Inn. Although my girlfriend Lyma was quite excited about the full English breakfast – having lived here for four years and missing it – there was very little of it I could eat. Offered were:
Tea or coffee
Fried egg
Baked beans
½ broiled tomato
Sausage
Bacon
Toast
I had a few bites of egg, a few bites of toast and some coffee. Hint: only stay at a B & B if you actually eat the breakfast – otherwise you are spending money for food you don’t eat.
Off to
These tunnels had been started many years earlier, some of them dating back to hundreds of years ago. They also housed barracks for soldiers and even for the women working there in the various war offices. An interesting part of history I knew nothing about!
Hint: “Mall walking” does not prepare one for “hill walking”!! Yikes!!! 
Another short drive and we are at Battle Abbey – built on the land where the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066. Gorgeous grounds! Used the audio walking tour. (These audio tours were available almost every where we went. I’d love to see this done more in the states!) We had an amazing view – the sky cleared and the remaining clouds turned pink. Daffodils in bloom as well as tulip poplars, cherry trees, and some sort of incredible “rose” tree. Wish I knew what it was.
Walked into town and I was able to pick up some cheese and a cheese knife for the rest of the trip. Oh, and some cashews. Have I mentioned that everything here costs a small fortune????
Drove as far as 
God is so good!

Great job on your blogging! Hope you keep going and blog the whole trip. The pics are lovely--good choices out of your 274--thought I don't remember the rose tree, so it just goes to show what a useful endeavor this blogging thing is. OAN--I'm so impressed that you figured out how to get pics up and in the right place. I figure it out and forget and figure it out and forget...props to you!!

My girlfriend (sockmonkey) and I are looking into taking a trip just like this next summer! I can't wait to share your blog with her. After watching "Miss Potter" at the theatre, we're both anxious to immerse ourself in the English culture and countryside.
Blessings,
Lori

Did you get lost over in the Old World? :-) I just wanted to let you know that I have awarded you with the Blogger Reflection Award. I know that you are a busy woman and might find it difficult to pass this award on to others. But if you do, you will find the rules on my blogsite. And if you don't, go on over and read the nice things that I said about you anyway. :-)

As the Mickey Mouse Club groomed the children of the 60s for the 70s revelry cycle so is the Disney-production that is Hannah Montana grooming the children for the next revelry cycle, 2010-2020. The incest photo was a clue.
Similarly, as guitar strumming was very sociable back then so is Guitar Hero the training tool used to gain male interest today.
Osama struck a "deal" with a record company executive in 2007::::With this Democrat in office I suspect we are going to witness an intense revelry cycle like we experienced in the 1970s.
