Why a weekend in medieval Rye is the perfect British seaside escape
Is there anywhere more charming than the British seaside in early summer? When the weather plays ball, there's little need to hop on a plane to the Med. The milky blue of the English Channel backed by pebble beaches – perfect if you don't fancy returning home with pockets weighed down by sand – and the faded grandeur of the south coast's Victorian townhouses and perky piers. Rye is one such Medieval town set a couple of hours' drive from London, or just over an hour by train from London St Pancras or Stratford International. Different to Hastings, St Leonards, Brighton or Eastbourne, in that it's not set directly beside the sea; rather, sea adjacent. A vast nature Reserve divides it from sandy Camber and eerie but beautiful Dungeness, and yet it's home to all the things you might need to make a great day trip or overnight stay. A fish & chip shop, ice cream parlour, several great pubs, a couple of gorgeous pubs with rooms, local cafés, antiques shops and trendy boutiques. We opted to drive so we could cram in my daughter's scooter, pram and all the healthy snacks she undoubtedly wouldn't touch, and the car we rented from Turo, the world's largest car sharing marketplace, was delivered personally by the owner – a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport – was impeccable and plenty roomy enough for our family of three. Car hire prices in London – especially over peak bank holiday weekends such as the one ahead of us – can go stratospheric, and Turo was comparable to other sites we scanned, but with a better vehicle selection. The fact it was delivered to our door, saving us the hassle of an extra journey to collect it, sealed the deal. Within two hours, we arrived in Rye and made a beeline for our base for the night, the George in Rye. Owned by Alex and Katie Clarke, a husband and wife team with a great eye for design. Katie has a background in film set design, evidenced by her choice of unique wallpaper ('either William Morris or sourced in France'), antiques ('I adore hunting them down') and curios ('I've a thing for quirky lamps'). Each room is individually designed and, while colourful, offers a calm and elegant space to bed down for the night. The George has always been an important meeting point in the town, and today its convivial pub maintains this feeling, while the restaurant offers an elevated space to enjoy a confident menu of gastro-pub classics and inventive cocktails. From The George, turn right or left along the narrow High Street and you'll find independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, art galleries and even a couple of wine bars, and at the bottom of the hill are a row of antiques emporiums. Happily, many of the streets in Rye are cobbled and historic, with Mermaid Street – dating from 1891 and stuffed full of Tudor buildings – being the most Instagrammed of the lot, along with Conduit Hill, Pump Street by the castle and West Street. The best things to do in Rye Peruse antique shops and markets Antiques shopping is one of the highlights of a visit to Rye. Strand Key Antiques, Halcyon Days and Wishbar Antiques are huddled together, while on Sundays, Rye Emprium is a vast brocante held March through September, 8-2pm. Visit Rye Castle Fun for all the family, Rye Castle and its Ypres Tower date to the 13th century. You can climb the tower for far-reaching views, gander at the museum's collection, or let the little ones play dress up in the costume department. Visit an art gallery There are plenty to choose from. Try Mccully & Crane for vintage and antique collectables and object d'art, Roche Gallery for classical and still life paintings, Rye Art Gallery for exhibitions from local and international artists and Ethel Loves Me, which sells original pieces from local artists, artisans and craftspeople. Go shopping Rae is a boutique that wouldn't look out of place in London, with a Marzano coffee machine doling out the flat whites and a well-curated selection of homewares, gifts and tableware. Sailors of Rye is a wonderful concept store, Colette Rye offers sustainable and ethically-made clothes for women. Head to the Nature Reserve Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is set between marshland and the sea and is home to more than 4,355 species of plants and animals, including an impressive 300 that are rare or endangered. Birds are the big ticket item, so look out for Ringed Plover, Avocet, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Lapwing, and Wheatear while you stroll or cycle the network of pathways. Where to eat in Rye Brunch at The Fig This lively, compact eaterie gets packed at the weekend, and the brunch is legendary. Fresh and healthy ingredients sourced as locally as possible are made into dishes like shakshuka, roasted tomatoes and whipped feta or sweetcorn fritters with chorizo. There's also great coffee by andbloss and smoothies and juices. Have tea and cake at Apothecary House The town is peppered with cafés, but this one is set inside an old apothecary, where old medicine bottles line the shelves and the higgledy piggledy layout lends the space a vintage charm. Order a slab of homemade lemon drizzle cake and a pot of tea and perch in the window to watch the world go by. Order a hot chocolate at Knoops Hot chocolate specialist Knoops has stores accross the UK but the story began in 2013 in Rye. The menu has more than 20 different per cent chocolates available as hot chocolates and six are available as iced chocolates and milkshakes. Sunday lunch at The George in Rye Hands down the best roast in Rye, but also a stellar choice for a dinner of elevated pub classics with a Basque, cooked-over-coals vibe, The George's restaurant is an elegant setting in which to enjoy a meal. Book ahead. The best bars and pubs in Rye Visit a local winery Owing to those chalky dliffs in nearby Dover, the area's soil is perfect for growing chardonnay, meunier and pinot noir, otherwise known as champagne's holy trinity of grapes. For the Kent version, head to the highlighly regarded Chapel Down in nearby Tenterden, or, to see how Kent winemakers are experimenting with unlikely grapes and blends, Oxney Organic and trendy Tillingham are on Rye's doorstep. Have a pint in a beer garden There are 15 pubs in and around Rye to choose from – that's the most per capita in the county. Ypres and The Old Bell have lovely outside courtyard space, and at weekends Ypres has a lively atmosphere with occasional bands playing on the terrace. The Standard is known for its food, along with The George in Rye and, closer to Camber Sands, The Gallivant. The best beaches near Rye Dungeness Dungeness is an odd place. It feels a little like Middle America when you're driving along the narrow road that weaves through the flat, featureless salt marsh towards the lighthouse. The single-story clapboard houses painted black look almost Nordic and as if plonked wherever their owners fancied. Very few have direct neighbours. Sitting incongruously on the pebble beach near the lighthouse is an enormous nuclear power station, the first Advanced Gas-cooled reactor to begin construction in the UK, which has become a symbol of the area. Camber Sands One of the only sandy beaches on the south coast, Camber Sands has a classic holiday village vibe, but the beach itself is expansive, so it rarely feels too crowded. Lay out a towel in front of the dunes or take a dip when the tide is in. Emilee Tombs was a guest of The George in Rye, which has rooms from £125 per night, and Turo, the world's leading car-sharing marketplace.

7 Ways To Make Money Fast When In A Pinch
There are plenty of ways to make money, but not every opportunity is suitable when you're in a pinch. To make money fast, you need a side hustle that requires little to no experience, can be started immediately, and pays out instantly. This article covers seven ways to make money when you need to do so urgently. Gig economy applications let you find short-term jobs that typically pay per task, allowing you to receive payment instantly. Some popular examples of these apps include TaskRabbit, Fiverr, Upwork, and Uber Eats. The hourly wage offered by gig economy applications widely varies depending on your work type. However, based on RoadWarrior's data, delivery food drivers working on platforms like Uber Eats earn around $18.74 per hour, while completing odd jobs through TaskRabbit can pay up to $25 per hour. If you have a car and want extra passive income, consider renting your vehicle to others through platforms that connect car owners and people who need to rent cars temporarily. For example, Turo, a car-sharing marketplace, lets you rent your car to a prescreened customer base and provides insurance for your vehicle while renting in exchange for taking a small share of your income. According to Turo, the average annual income of car owners on the platform is $10,868. Walking dogs or babysitting is another in-demand service that can make you money quickly when in a pinch. Apart from asking your friends or relatives if they need these services, you can use platforms such as to find babysitting opportunities or Rover if you prefer walking dogs. Indeed's data shows that, on average, dog walkers earn $20.85 per hour on average, and babysitters earn $15.86 hourly. Monetize skills you already have or want to develop by doing freelance work online. Popular in-demand freelance skills include video editing, web designing, and copywriting. Almost every skill has a place in the freelance market. Freelance platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr are excellent starting points for finding potential clients. You should also leverage personal connections and social media platforms to expand your reach. If you want to make money in less than a day, hosting a yard sale is one of your best options. Depending on your state, you might need to obtain the necessary permits for this process, but they are usually inexpensive. Find any unused stuff at home, come up with a reasonable price for every item, and set up a garage sale in your front yard. Depending on the items you sell, you can earn hundreds of dollars in one sitting by hosting a yard sale. If you're good at crafts or baking, try selling your creations to make extra money. Start by asking family and friends if they're interested, then branch out to your local community. How much you can earn through this venture varies depending on how much you sell and your prices. If successful, you can grow this one-time gig into a full-blown business. Some website owners are willing to pay money to hear honest insights about the functionality of their sites. Some free-to-join website testing platforms online include UserTesting and Userlytics. Often, you only need to pass a short test and answer some screening questions before being allowed to test websites and earn money.

4 Surprising Ways To Use Your Tesla To Earn Passive Income
Owning a Tesla isn't just about enjoying cutting-edge technology and sustainable driving. It's also an opportunity to generate passive income. Beyond traditional methods like ride-sharing or delivery services, Tesla owners can explore additional creative ways to make passive income on the side as well. Here are five creative ways to turn your Tesla into a revenue-generating asset. Discover Next: For You: Platforms like Turo enable Tesla owners to rent out their vehicles to others. According to the platform's website, cars listed on Turo earn about $906 per month, with owners receiving approximately 70% of the rental earnings. This approach allows you to monetize your Tesla during periods when it's otherwise idle. Turo's passive income service is a little different than just renting out your car on your own as a host. Instead, you'll fill out a form and share details about your vehicle. Then Turo will match you with an experienced host who's interested in listing your vehicle. From there, the host will manage rental bookings and take care of the entire process for you. Trending Now: Rental Price Per Day Days Rented Per Month Monthly Earnings $100 10 $700 $150 10 $1,050 $100 15 $1,050 Of course, earnings depend on location, demand and the specific model of your Tesla. Cities with high tourism or tech-centered communities tend to perform best for car-sharing platforms. The sleek design and modern appeal of Teslas make them attractive for use in movies, commercials and photo shoots. By registering your vehicle with agencies that supply cars for media productions, you can earn income whenever your Tesla is featured in a project. This method requires minimal effort and can be a lucrative side hustle. Agencies like Movie Time Cars and Driveshare regularly seek out unique vehicles for various shoots. Tesla vehicles are in demand for futuristic and tech-themed productions, making them prime candidates. Payment ranges from $200 to $500 or more per day, depending on the role your car plays in the shoot.

By applying removable ad wraps to your Tesla, you can earn money simply by driving as you normally would. While the income varies based on factors like location and driving frequency, it's a passive way to offset ownership costs. Standard car wraps can earn you $200 to $500 per month, according to Carvertise. Premium campaigns may offer up to $1,000 monthly if you live in a high-traffic urban area. Some companies even pay for part of the wrap installation costs. Platforms like Wrapify and Carvertise make it easy to sign up, get your car wrapped and start earning. If you have a presence on social media or a blog, you can create content around Tesla accessories, features or your ownership experience. By promoting products through affiliate links, you earn commissions on sales generated from your referrals. This strategy leverages your Tesla ownership to build an additional income stream. YouTube reviews of Tesla accessories Blog posts about road trips with your Tesla Social media reels showcasing the Autopilot experience Popular platforms like Amazon Associates or Tesla-related affiliate programs provide generous commissions for accessory purchases. Owning a Tesla doesn't just have to be about sustainable driving. Your car can also be a gateway to passive income opportunities. As technology evolves, more doors will open for EV owners to make the most of their vehicles and earn more money on the side with minimal effort.
