Celebrating Trouping Colors in Rye


Summer has arrived, we are busy with the million activities going on in Rye and London..it's such an exciting time for us. Every weekend something new and fun happens: guests visiting, sailing, exhibitions, new towns to discover..and this weekend was Trouping of the Colors: a celebration that takes care ever year to mark the birthday of the Queen.

After the Royal wedding, I was sure there would be no more patriotic events for the rest of the year, and instead this weekend I was reminded of the importance of certain dates and events for British people. Rye was packed with people, lots of locals dressed up in the style of the 40's, they brought out their vintage cars and even danced to some great swing and lindy hop tunes..

Here is a member of the Hastings historic cycles society "showing off" his style. Love it!
