Emsworth

There is a new film being advertised, on rail stations, with a slogan. Mary is from Essex !

Today we took a train or two to Emsworth, on the S, Coast near Chichester, to see Myra and Trevor, Myra's mother and mine were close friends from their schooldays.

The station had a charming tea room and a waiting room decorated by local residents -so chic!

Emsworth is one of those charming village/towns with very old pubs, in one of which we had lunch.

In a canal we found a swan with cygnets and two unhatched eggs--never seen that before.

The old flint walls have always fascinated me,

Back at Keith and Petrea's house, I was a presented with my own beer brand

and Mary tried Keith's concertina. Their blue cattle dog pet (Petrea is Australian) didn't approve!
