A Spice of Rye Life

 

Open Seven Days a Week

The Rye Spice Company have been providing an extensive range of dried Herbs, Spices, Fruit, Nuts and other culinary ingredients for 20 years.

Their main business has been supplying the Food Trade but an online shop was introduced due to high demand from the public. In March this year, Rye Spice converted their office into a shop and invited the public to come and buy direct. They supply the ‘Cottage Delight’ range as well as lots of other cooking ingredients and every conceivable spice from around the world. They are open seven days a week.

A Matter of Priorities

What would the average man in the street think was the greater death risk, visiting Rye Cemetery or riding a cycle along the Rye Harbour Road? Every single person I asked thought it was a stupid question, without exception they said riding to Rye Harbour. Ask the same question of Rother District Council, they are knocking down headstones in our cemeteries as fast as they can and look like having to shell out £34,000 of our money to pay for it. That money would have gone a long way towards building a cycle / footpath down the two mile ‘Death Road’ that so recently cost the life of 22 year old Graham Matthews.

The Jane Ann of Rye in Arundel 1898

By Ron Dellar

Almost two years now out of Rye – two years trying to get used to living here in West Sussex (it is different to East Sussex!) but two years in the course of which I have, on various occasions, been seen lurking round corners in Rye and two years in which time I have made a start in building a new life far away from the plots, plans and devious scheming that were so much part of my life in dear old Rye!

(If anybody would like to know more about my days in Rye and the good and maybe not so good things I got up to, I would be delighted to tell it all, the way it was…….) Continue reading The Jane Ann of Rye in Arundel 1898
