The visitors from the north.
I have a grand daughter waiting for me to get something written so that she can get back to whatever it was she was doing.
This has been such a full day.
The car boot sale at Ford was huge....sunshine and school holidays brings people out.
We bought some things, including clothes for me and grand daughter (who hadn't arrived in the south at that time, of course). We also bought huge tasty cucumbers from Sarah Market Gardener - and runner beans and courgettes. There was time to chat with people too.
Then we breakfasted.
There were lots of people in Littlehampton - sunshine and school holidays.
The tide was far out and people playing on the sands and in the water had a Lowry-esque quality - little black silhouettes against the sunlight and sparkling waters.
We had a little snooze at home until it was time to go and meet our visitors at the station.
Straight in the house - and I knew my computer was lost to me!
This evening Bill and I have been timekeeping for the Sussex Under 13's league. Ashley and E Minor went for a walk in the forest where they chatted with beautiful cygnets and stalked a pair of nervous deer.
Home again to eat a bit.
Bed soon - disturbed last night by a pesky barking fox.
The weather has decided to upset our plans.....why couldn't it last for ever, this sunshine?
Rain is forecast for tomorrow - so the planned walk in the country is off the menu.
