Seeing Uncle Ernst in East Sussex
We found ourselves down here again last weekend- in deepest Sussex.
The reason was to visit Ernst Van Maurik (Bella's first cousin twice removed) with Nettie (Ernst is Nettie's Uncle).
He's famous in the family for his stories from WWII and his exploits as a British Special Operations Executive. Here's some background on him and a video. He told C tales of parachuting into France and working his way undercover to the Swiss border.
We then stayed at John and Shelia's house for the rest of the weekend. Some nice walks, good pubs and a campfire to toast marshmallows.
