All calm

...on the southern front at 4:30 pm.

We went for our first long walk today, needing to get back out on the coastal path again. It was beautiful, crisp and cold. The Brent Geese are back on the waters around Nutbourne and Chidham and looked in good health.

The village newsagents, which has closed down, has been taken over by an Eco Lifestyle and Refillery which is called "Naked Pantry" and is also an independent family run shop. It will sell eco-conscious products, food staples, loose tea, nuts, herbs and spices, cleaning and laundry products. Just bring your own bottles, tupperwares, bag and fill up. I wish them well and think people will be supportive.

It's nearly Friday!
