Saturday, 5th October 2024 - The Brede Steam Giants

What a glorious sunny morning for a bit of weeding. I tidied up around our pond. Tim did some more major bramble and sapling removal. The plants in our garden must be related to triffids they grow so fast.

We had an unusual afternoon. With Lindsey, Tony and Wendy we parked by Brede church and walked to see The Brede Steam Giants. They are water pumping engines. One is an impressive 35 feet high. The day got better with tea, cake and cheese scones in the cafe. I learnt a lot about how water was drawn out the ground and pumped from Brede to Fairlight. It was much more interesting than I anticipated. We plan to take Herbie our grandson in the future he would be fascinated. We walked through cattle filled fields to The Red Lion for a couple of drinks. The food looked good so we plan to return. Thank you Tony and Wendy for suggesting today's outing.
