The down side was that I missed all my cousins and aunts and uncles who still lived in Shoreham and Steyning.

On our arrival we stayed in the comfortable Affric Hotel for two weeks while Dad found us a place to live. Finally he was able to secure a small house called "Fasnakyle Cottage". It was a crofters cottage, containing a living room, one bedroom, a bathroom and ...read more here
