A big blue sky day, a clear sea, a breeze to refresh you, the landscape to admire, and cliffs to wonder at; all part of a birthday walk along the Seven Sisters, South Downs. Simply a beautiful part of the world to live in.

And a picnic of chunks of bread with ham and cheese, a flask of tea and some wine gums. And of course not forgetting the good company. Perfection!
