Surprise Surprise!

Genuine surprises are few and far between these days.

So it was an absolute pleasure to be out walking on The South Downs at the weekend to chance across an alternative to the planned pub lunch ahead.

In the village of Southease, (no pub, delightful chuch and a population of just 37) there was a small village green. On it for this Saturday only was a real ale tent, music and a chili festival.

There were bales of hay to sit on, food ranging from the wimpishly mild to the bonkers hot and a cracking relaxing atmosphere.

Naturally we stayed far too long and ended the walk much later than expected.

But it was one of those surprising marvellous moments you wouldn't miss for anything.
