Friday 19th August
We have moved to a room with a balcony and a lovely view of the sea.

We set out to visit Petworth House but had a puncture as we were passing Arundel. We were rescued by the AA and spent the rest of the afternoon finding a replacement tyre. When the sun eventually came out, we enjoyed a brisk walk by the beach at low tide.



Thursday 18th August
It is 41 years since we last visited the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in the South Downs National Park. The collection of historic buildings has greatly increased and there are now 50 spread over the site, all rescued and carefully rebuilt.

Literally next door are the gardens at West Dean, possibly one of the best restored gardens in the country. We spent several enjoyable hours here walking around the formal gardens and greenhouses and relaxing on the many seats.
