Last weekend we took a visit back south to catch up with friends colleagues and ex neighbours. Every autumn we have helped our ex nextdoor neighbour pick her apples from her lovely orchard. It was something we did when we lived next door and we go back two or three times a year for red wine and olives as well as the odd bike ride and for Rachel colleague catch up.
Our cottage is on the right overlooking the mill pond - beautiful
We stay at Hollybank house a beautiful B&B in stunning grounds
If we'd stayed south I'm sure Percy would have been traded for one of these....
One area special tous is Bosham... we walked cycles and motorcycles all over this area. on a few occasions I walked from the cottage in West Ashling to Bosham where Rachel would pick me up on her way home from work
The custodians of Hollybank house are keen sailors and told us of a very high tide brought in by an on shore wind and high pressure ... when we entered the cafe there was no water .... note the lady pushing the wheelchair.... it catches lots out including the odd motorist.
There are some very exclusive properties in the area.
.... and wildlife to watch
As an aside there is a house being developed overlooking this that is featured on Grand designs ....
It was a lovely weekend catching up and we will be back again and again as it's a lovely part of the world with some special memories
