We flew from Trondheim to Gatwick, south of London this morning. Tomorrow we will continue, but as there were no opportunity to reach our final destination today, we will stay the night at a hotel here at Gatwoch, Block Hotel, with rooms the size of matchboxes (very nice though) We did not want to spend hours on the airport, so we work a taxi to the nearest town, Crawley, in West Sussex.
Crawley might not be the most charming British town I've seen, and I've been to quite a few. But after some walking we first found a very nice Memorial Park, then a few hold houses with cottage style flowers, and eventually the old church, St.John´s church.
Unfortunately the church was closed, but look at this beautiful handle and key hole!
And I found more, a Waterstones filled with books.
And, yes, I ended up buying two.
The book in the first picture, Icons of England by Bill Bryson is one I've had in my shelves for years. A perfect book to bring with me, I decided yesterday when I packed my suitcase.
Our Icon of England today - riding a double-decker :-)
