Well we are back home after a few special days around Bosham. the weather was far from perfect, indeed we got well and truly soaked a few times, but we did see super things, met lovely people and enjoyed each others company.

We saw so much on our walks, including, avocets, cuckoos, small terns, shell ducks, shoveler ducks, corn buntings and much more.  The young teasels (above) were prolific and amazing, as was all the vegetation. The bird sanctuary at Pagham harbor  was terrific.

Now have you ever gone into a pub to eat and as we were lateish, they had stopped selling food. that happened to us yesterday and to our astonishment the landlord said, go and get a takeaway and bring it back here to eat. which we did, he gave us knife and forks, then even clearing away the packaging afterwards. Now that is what I call a friendly local pub and it is called the Rose Tavern in East Preston.
