But Wait, There's More!!

After we spent a fantastic time with the Pidgeon's and the Codrai's in London, we went to Sussex and stayed at Pekes Manor with the Chinn family. Bill's cousin, Jim (aka CJ), rented this wonderful house for all of us to stay in for the week. The house was built in 1550, so we were totally living in Tudor England! Bill hit his head on the beam in our room like 50 times! So funny . . . I mean, not funny. Click on the highlighted words "Pekes Manor" to view pictures of the interior. Warning: You may turn green with envy!

This is a picture from the front. It really doesn't do it justice. The house and grounds are so beautiful!

This is the side of the house and the building in the background is the indoor swimming pool. All the flowers were so pretty.





Okay, so this is the back of the house. You can start to imagine now just how amazing this place is!





Look at the ducks! Can you believe we stayed here??!!



Now enough with the amazing . . . I have included some pics of the bathroom (unfortunately they were loaded sideways). I have no complaints about the accommodations because I'm just grateful that bathrooms were added, but with that said let me tell you that hygiene was a struggle.



Bill came across Baden "flushing" the toilet repeatedly. Pull...pull...pull.



And this is the world's smallest sink! I couldn't rinse my hands without squishing them up against the side of the sink. And I'm such a wimp - the cold was too cold, so when I washed my face I would put some cold water in my hands and then quickly dash them under the scalding hot water and then splash my face with the now luke warm water. Maybe too much information?



Well, I wanted to show you the Manor House. I absolutely loved it. As amazing as the house was though, the Chinn's were the best part. Meeting them was very special, so stay tuned for Part 3.
