Lewes: Day 3


Off to Chichester in the morning and the Pallant House Gallery which has had a completely new section added since our last visit.  Less of the old house visible, other than the staircase, and more modern extension, which has increased the gallery space.   A feast in store for us.  Three smallish but very interesting exhibitions, all due to end in the next couple of days.   We had an excellent steak salad in the courtyard and also admired the Georgian architecture on the way to and from the car park.

We returned to Lewes in the afternoon and did a little more exploring.  Plenty of antique shops (all rather expensive) and no sign of the antique wine rack we are sort of looking for to go in the pantry at Southwold.   However, we had more luck in the dress shop that I had previously spotted!   Then a quick trip to Waitrose for the ingredients for supper at home, cooked from the recipe book I bought at Standen House titled 'The Roasting Tin'.  A book full of recipes you cook in one tin in the oven.   We had gnocchi, mozzarella, tomatoes, pine nuts and basil and it was pretty good, though the washer-upper complained bitterly about the cheese stuck to the pan!!
