English Heritage Day Out

Today the plan was to take in a bit of culture in the form of a re-enactment of the 1066 Battle of Hastings.  The God of rain destined that it wasn't going to happen as the event was cancelled due to the battlefield being sodden and unsafe. So quick change of plan and we all met up for lunch.  I bet a little bit of rain wouldn't of stopped them in 1066.
