Littlehampton begins to wake.
This is my blog number 2222.
It describes a day that felt just a tad warmer.......not sure how we can think that 8 degrees is warm!
And it was much less than that when we left home.
Ford was full of sellers.....mostly trying to dodge the prying lens of a BBC camera. They must have been filming the Great British Antiques Road Trip - the experts normally have to buy things at a car boot sale, during the trip, to make a profit.
Maybe I am an expert - I can buy things to make a profit every week.
And I bought a few more things today.
We went to Littlehampton for breakfast - can't stay away for long.
I opted for sweet chilli noodles......lower in fat than any of the breakfast items.
Very tasty.
It can be served with or without a chicken breast,
Then we went for a walk.
I began by looking out for boat bits along the river.
The old green hut.....the reflection in the window always looks different.
Then I enjoyed looking at things on the beach.
I knew these were egg cases.
But I had never learned about them
They are whelk egg cases.
I moved nothing to take this picture; I liked the bit of shell, looking like a monster, on the end of a stick.
The high tide line was thick with whelk egg cases.
Above the beach at this point, there are a few kiosks; here one can buy food, drink, ice creams, things to play with on the beach and seaside novelties to take home.
The kiosks were busy.
People were re-painting and cleaning.
One kiosk was open.
Littlehampton is waking up.......Easter starts the summer season, whether it feels like summer or not.

We walked back through the fun fair - also easing out of hibernation.
Two groups of young trainee fun fair workers were being shown the ropes and shown how all the rides work.
A pair of cormorants - ready for a summer of raising chicks.
