Swanbourne Lake, a sea of tranquillity

Roger arrived yesterday morning, fresh from Canterbury and North America. I last saw him in Cape Town two years ago. We visited the 18thC fort and walked by the dunes and along East beach. Roger was impressed by the tide racing in. Today Jackie joined us for fish pie lunch and we walked round Swanbourne Lake which yielded Red Admirals on the path. After visiting some antique shops in Arundel I came out of Kim’s second hand bookshop with ‘Waterside Walks in Sussex’ and ‘Downland Wildlife, a Naturalists Year in the North and South Downs’. These should lead to some great walks and more appreciation for what we are seeing.
