January 23rd

This is actually another walk so should really be on my other blog!  We have decided to go for a longer walk one day per month and have even put dates on the calendar!  Here’s our first one:  Along the beach at Chichester Harbour.  We parked at West Itchenor (in the pub car park – more about that later!), then walked along towards West Wittering for about 45 minutes.  It was very wet and muddy!  Merlin had the best time running into the horrible muddy sand, and in and out of the water!  He is such joy on these longer walks!  WE stopped for a coffee out of the flask, and took a few photos.  It was a bit dark for photos really, not a sunny day!  When we got back to the car we went in the pub (The Ship Inn) and I had a coffee and Maurice had a beer.  It was the most lovely pub.  There was a bar area with tables and a restaurant area out the back.  But at 4pm there were several locals in there having drinks and the atmosphere was great!  We will go back for a meal I have no doubt!
