Well yet again we have gone away. We seem to have developed a tradition that we go away for a few days over my birthday, so here we are in Bosham on the coast in Sussex in a pleasant B&B, to rest, sketch, sleep and eat for a day or two.

I love history and Bosham holds a truly ancient place in our nations story. When Hathacante (I thing that the spelling is correct), King Canute's son, was king he invited Edward the Confessor over from the continent to rule Britain for him, because he had to go home to Denmark to sort them all out over there. Well when Edward landed in the UK it was at Bosham at the very quay which is shown in the sketch above, 

You can stop yawning now and we are thinking about going out to a pub for supper, maybe a walk on the front and then sleep.
