The sun shone, but Mum had a chiropody appointment. This was good for her and me! The chiropodist is located in Goring (by-Sea) and within a stone's throw of the beach. Sooooo - whilst Mum was being cosseted I headed off to the beach with my camera.
Appointment completed, it was far too nice just to head for home - especially as this was the first time Mum had been out for the last week. We drove just a few hundred yards along to Sea Lane Cafe (always know in our family as the "8 day cafe" - see link and scroll down a bit) where we had a cuppa- or to be more precise, Mum had apple juice and I had hot chocolate with cream and an apple danish - well this was breakfast for me!! This is somewhere I can really recommend - great food and drink and a sea view - 8 days a week :D.
Off to Goodwood we went, for the view. Apart from visiting the house for a craft fair I've yet to visit the house per se. - something I hope to rectify when it opens again this year.
We then stopped for lunch at a garden centre on the way back to Mum's. After filling up her bird feeders I then headed off for home. It was freezing all day but glorious sunshine - and we both enjoyed a really good day out.
I heard (on the radio) coming home that Surrey is likely to have temperatures that will not really get above freezing for the next 7 days! Sounds like fun!
On the beach (not far from Sea Lane Cafe) - and just by looking and with a bit of imagination, you can feel the hot sun on your back, the sound of gentle lapping waves and temperatures in the 20s c. Well - OK - a great deal of imagination
View from the top of the hill near Goodwood Racecourse
and a Rook (one of many) also enjoying the view!

Beaches are always nice - but they're even better when they're warm! Nice photos as always.
the landscapes are MUCH better with the new cam.
Mick - warm beaches are great but I love the crisp skies of winter.
Pete - the bright light makes a huge difference with any camera. ;)
Great photographs again Tricia. That is another place that Phil and I will have a drive to when he is all sorted!!. I think we went to Goring on a coach day trip around Sussex. Does it have a Church with the ceiling like the SISTINE CHAPEL in Rome? It is good to know about recommended cafe's in areas one is visiting.Jackie.
PS. I have just looked the Church up on Google and I see it is in Goring.

Avalon - thanks - it's a relief!
Jackie - sorry only just moderated your comment about finding the church in Goring. You must have thought I'd lost the plot completely? Lol
