New pub option if finishing at Glynde

7 off the posted train were met by 2 locals making n=9 and a g. It was a perfect day for a walk on the downs, w=sunny-with-a-pleasant-breeze and clear views all around. Hawthorn was in full bloom and a long field full of lacy phacelia and vivid crimson clover was buzzing with bees. Three went for a pub lunch, others picnicked on benches outside the church at Southease. 3 took a train back from Southease, 6 carried on to Glynde and one intended to complete the circuit to Lewes. Three caught the 15.25 train from Lewes. One had come from Glynde and said the Steamworks cafe did not appear to be open.
The steam works was open. You can't access it from the platform.
