East Sussex Travel Blogs

Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

I am not known in my family for being reckless. I had a lot to compete with, mind, but I am pretty sensible on the whole. My friends - well they may have a slightly different opinion and some photo's (and a cringey TV program) to prove it. But whenever I have done something with out thinking it through - something wild and adventurous and slightly off the wall - there has usually been youth on my side or alcohol against it. This time I have neither to blame. I am just restless. Sick of getting in and wondering what is [View Full Entry]

So this weekend was the first Rutgers group trip to Lewes, and Jess and I got to meet the other 3 students studying in England: Jonathan, Ariel, and Jessica. Last night we got into Lewes after about an hour-ish train ride from London and went off to dinner after checking into our rooms at the White Hart Hotel. At dinner we met Catherine's husband, Roger, and Stephen, who is married to Jennifer, the president of Rutgers Alumni Association. Jennifer didn't make it because she is a busy corporate lawyer, but the company was good and the food was delicious. After dinner [View Full Entry]

Wow, I realize that it has been a long time since I posted. However, I made no promises when I started this! I need to go back to over a month ago - my sister arrived on Sept 10. That was really exciting for me! I picked her up at the airport and dropper her at our older brother’s, where she was going to spend the weekend getting over jet lag. I drove over on Saturday and then she and I took the tube into London. We had made plans to tour the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace since they are [View Full Entry]

Eek - 3 weeks to go! Sitting here in our half empty flat trying to tie up loose ends, sort out visas, cancel direct debits, plan leaving parties etc etc. So little time, so much still to do... Quite a few people have suggested we start a travel blog so they can see what/ where in the world we're up to over the next year and a bit, so for those of you interested, here it is - watch this space!

Situated just off Lewes Road, these are in my opinion the most magnificent cemeteries in Brighton. First established around 1850, they comprise seventy acres of Victorian burial grounds, still in use as both graveyard and crematorium. There are also some amazing chapels and mausoleums, as well as lots of trees and a rich wildlife area where you can walk round guided trails. The staff are always incredibly helpful, and no matter what time of year you visit, there is always something new to see. I regularly go there to take photographs and find out more about Brightons history, so picking just [View Full Entry]

Woodvale Tower
Woodvale Tombstone
Woodvale Rose Mausoleum

This was originally built as a Chapel of Ease for St Nicholas Church (14th century.) A Chapel of ease is a sort of overspill church, but also closer to many of the parishioners. St Peters Church is on the level, between London Road and Lewes Road, occupying its own little island of green. Building began in 1824, and the church was consecrated in 1828. The first stone laid and the consecration service were performed by the same man; Reverend Carr. The building, like its sister church St Nicholas is grade II listed. It was designed by Sir Charles Barry (architect of [View Full Entry]

Brighton Marina Europe » United Kingdom » England » East Sussex » Brighton
Brighton, was originally called Beorthelm’s Tun or farm, after the fifth century Saxon invader, Beorthelm, who made the first settlement on this patch of English coastland. That vast farm, became so big and prosperous, it became a complete town, but all the fishermen lived outside the farm, just a little further east, under the cliffs. The fishing industry thrived and fishermen daily sold their catches on the beach, a custom that continues on a very small scale to this day. Brighton has been a port since the fourteenth century. It was used despite its lack of natural harbour because [View Full Entry]

I moved to Brighton in 1997, and unlike all the other places I have lived or travelled to, it is largely unexplored by me. As soon as I started to think about this, I realised there is a lot to explore. Brighton is a cultural centre, a seaside resort, a multi university city, has many historical venues, fascinating people, numerous festivals and events, a wide range of flora and fauna, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We don't have any icebergs though! So I decided to write a blog about Brighton. I think it's the most amazing city in [View Full Entry]

Birthday Europe » United Kingdom » England » East Sussex » Forest Row
Well I was lucky enough to spend my birthday at home for the first time in 6 years. I spent the perfect day playing golf with my friend Tom. We don't get to play much these days but we played on the golf course we used to play on when we first started at the age of 14. Neither of us had played for a while and therefore some of are shots weren't that good! I've included a little video of me playing..........don't laugh! In the evening I went to my sister house to have dinner with the whole family. One [View Full Entry]
