27th January. Bury Hill

Yesterday we went to the car boot sale at Ford.
This entails a drive across Sussex from north to south of about 35 miles.
We normally go the quickest way, down the A24, turning off to travel across a lovely Downland road just north of Worthing.
We continue westward, enjoying a wonderful early morning view of Arundel.
Ford is a pleasant little village just a few miles from the sea - but we saw neither the village or the sea yesterday.
The car boot sale is held on a disused airfield.
The journey back can vary considerably.
Yesterday we went over Bury Hill and I suggested that Bill stop the car so that I could take a photograph of the view.
We looked down into the Arun valley, above Arundel.
I found the old post card on EBay. It shows 1950s cars on the hill that we would be travelling down - leading to the villages of Bury, Wtersfield, Coldwaltham and Hardham until we reach the small town of Pulborough.
