Littlehampton in Blue
Lovely day!
Still dark when we left home, but soon the sun was shining.
By half past nine the shopping trolley was full of treasures to investigate and then sell on - plus a skirt and cardigan for me, some jam and a cabbage.
The glasses vases are by Whitefriars.
There is a Denby pottery jug.
A pottery vase by potter unknown (as yet), but signed.
A small piece of Venetian glass.
The pig is fun.
No books!
We breakfasted in the George - our Wetherspoons haunt in Littlehampton. We were surrounded by people we have got to know.
My breakfast, some would consider was unusual. It suited me just fine. I love the sweet chilli noodles that they have - almost no fat and low in calories. Excellent.
And then we took our walk - our normal walk along the river and out to the beach.
I had an idea in mind for my photography to make it feel different.
I was photographing things blue.
It might have been in honour of Littlehampton's blue flag, which they temporarily lost, but today regained. In fact I didn't hear about it until our return - so a serendipity blue theme!
We begin at the beginning.
Surrey Street - the road from the town centre to the river side.
The George is in Surrey Street.
Lots of new development by the original port.
The look and Sea centre houses a cafe, a shop, a museum and a viewpoint.
Look at the wonderful blue sky.
Some of the new flats are clad in wooden weather boarding and painted. These are the blue flats.
Blue and red reflections. This is the cafe we went to with Pete and Jean and din't think much of.
A little blue boat chugs out to sea on the outgoing tide.
Paula and Bill in blue. Well actually my coat is a mauve colour.
Child in blue hat.
Man in blue jacket, sitting on a blue bench.
Blue doors and window frames and yellow door. This is a cafe in the summer, with chairs and tables on the beach.
Sea and blue sky.
Bill and the blue telescope.
Blue sign by the milennium beacon and blue sky, with aircraft trails.
Blue (purply blue) flowers.
Man in blue hat chats, whilst his dog waits patiently.
Blue sea for Nelson.
Pub sign.
Blue sky over the river.
Blue tops to the floats hanging on side of boat by the yellow planks of the walkway.
Blue and white flats with blue balconies, by the river.
Blue porthole window on the blue balcony.
We took other pictures - but that will do for today.
I hope we might have photographs with a different theme tomorrow, for we plan to go out again. This time to the Woking Collectables Fair.
Whilst sorting photos and chatting with friends this afternoon I was keeping an idea on the football scores.
Crawley were at home in this FA Cup match - they knocked out the higher rated club, Bristol City.
I wonder who they will get in the next round......a prestigious team would be really good; it would bring more money to the club and help build a positive spirit in the town.
