Against all odds, the weather today turned out to be splendid, and we made not one, but two walks—the first to the Lighthouse that I’ve featured earlier and then, to Overstrand again.
This time we went further than our standard path (a walk by the sea to the Cliff Top and back)—we decided to visit Overstrand itself. Surprisingly, it is bigger than we both had imagined—a pristine very old town (the first village was built in the mid-11th century, during the reign of William I) with flint terraced houses and glass conservatories, lovely gardens full of opulent hydrangeas and late blooming roses.
We entered a small flint church—St Martin’s, that is—and it was cool and shady inside: the list of rectors’ names started in 1300s and is continuing to our time.
