Sussex University decided to arrange a reunion for students from the 60s and, at the last minute, invited members of staff to come for the last part of the reunion on Saturday afternoon. They only expected locals, but for Sue and David Tall, it was an opportunity to revisit their life 40 years ago when they lived in Woodingdean near Brighton with their new-born daughter Rebecca from September 1966 to September 1969. Staying at a Travel Lodge just north of Brighton, it was possible to visit Woodingdean and Rottingdean on Saturday before the reunion in the afternoon, then spend Sunday in Brighton, including a visit to the theatre in the evening to see the Cambridge Footlights perform.
