The view from my hotel room - early start this morning, and it looked a bit foggy!07:28:01
Outside the White Hart Hotel - still pretty foggy!08:06:43
I took the train from Lewes to Southease, and it was pretty foggy there too!08:06:47
08:15:36
Walking through Southease - this pretty cluster of houses (including one thatched cottage) looked all the more picturesque in the fog.08:19:12
Very foggy (possibly also a bit blurred).08:19:13
08:19:19
It's a good job I'd done this walk before as visibility wasn't great!

15:24:18
The pumpkin fields again on the way back.15:24:24
15:27:39
15:52:18
Was fairly drenched by the time I got back to Southease!17:10:44
Had to get a rail replacement bus from Lewes to Three Bridges. On arrival at Three Bridges I took this photo, perhaps mainly to show the contrast with the rural idyll I had just come from.17:10:59
