Well i am back. Watched Dr.Who , thoroughly enjoyed it , had some food, washed up, went upstairs and then within moments feel asleep. Plus, i have two reports to do from my visits today. I managed to do the last two shops for the month in Lewes and Ashford. Had a great time away. The change of scenery did me good.

Couple of points to mention. I went up to Lewes from Seaford by train for expediency , which is five stops in ten miles , and only costing £2.60 , whilst a single journey by train of 3 miles from Teynham to Sittingbourne costs $3,50. Hence Kent is more expensive to travel by train than Sussex.
Second point is that Brighton and Hove buses no longer do an Explorer ticket anymore and now call it a Discovery ticket which they now have whacked up to £8.50/ I had an altercation with an Arriva bus driver maintaining that it was valid on their buses, this was the 333 from Faversham to home. I held my ground, remained on the bus to the annoyance of the jobsworth bus driver,  thank you.A word with Arriva come Monday!

So when i alighted from the beastly bus,the 666, in Faversham i got caught up with the Faversham Hop Festival, so i had to stay there for an hour. No wonder i fell asleep. Laughs to himself.

That wouldn't have anything to do with ale would it?! And good for you for sticking your ground on the bus ticket. Might be worthwhile to contact Arriva and point out their 'oversight' in accepting the new Discovery ticket issued by B&H buses?

Yep, pint of Old Spanker, a local cider and a Spitfire ale. Oh definitely will contact Arriva on Monday.

Another hour before the Dr. is on here.
Dare I admit I still haven't watched the first episode. UGH.........

I can see why you fell asleep. Busy day. :o
Sorry to hear you had so much trouble with the bus driver.
Hugs, Jon

Who was really good today. I'm glad you've had a good day. Shame about the annoying bus driver, but by the sounds of it you were nicely compensated with beer!

After such a big day and big few days, it is no wonder that you fell asleep instantly. I hope you slept well, too :)

I hope you win the fight with Arriva, too.
