Well, they have certainly done a lot of work here in the last four years. They’ve put in a new road which is open to the sea underneath, and taken out all the old car parks near the Mont. There is a huge new car park and a shuttle bus service (you can walk if you want – we did – 45 minutes each way) and the shuttle buses are push-me-pull-you so they don’t need to turn round at the end of the trip.
HMS Warrior, the Royal Navy’s first iron hulled ship. We also went to look at the Victory, but they have removed the top masts for maintenance, so it looks rather stumpy at the moment. Continue reading
These two towns are very near neighbours of Bognor, but couldn’t be more different. This is the only pic we have from Chichester as the weather very quickly turned dreary, but no worries as the town is a shopaholics paradise.

Houses in Folkestone – that sky hardly looks British, does it?
How do we get so many pics without people? We get up very early, or shoot above their heads, or wait until they’ve gone. We find that pics without people sell better, unless they are model released.
After an exhausting week in London, we are ready to move on. There is lots to see, but getting around is hard work. We don’t want to get on another London bus for a while. We have had some great weather and taken lots of pics, most of which we haven’t had time to process, but here are a few…
Trafalgar Square
I can’t send you pictures of “The Queen’s summer retreat” at Sandringham, as both house and grounds were closed. However, the two hours of walking there and back from our caravan site will have done us good, I’m sure:-)
This is the Trinity Guildhall and Town Hall, King’s Lynn – that chequer pattern must make it hard to redecorate! That cloud just posed beautifully, didn’t it?
