Chichester for a wander.. and a new discovery

Horrid day in terms of weather.. rained most of the day and very grey skies.  I was in no rush to get out but in the end went into Chichester for a wander.

As it was round lunch time when I arrived I stopped at Patisserie Valerie for a salmon & cream cheese bagel.. which came with a rather large portion of French Fries.. all very tasty

A wander round some shops for something I needed and then through the town.  Light was not conducive to decent picture taking.

The Market cross where four streets converge..

The cafe was in here, where I had lunch

and on the walk back to the car park, I took a detour and came across Priory Park - click HERE for more information.

Today the ground is used by Chichester Priory Park Cricet Club who play in the Sussex Cricket League Division Two... Chichester City Colts Under 9s football team play here too, it's affectionaly know as "The Fortress

This building is the Guildhall

And I saw my first treecreeper of 2018 - totally wrong camera for birds so a record shot.

and in the park was a reasonably large aviary... two of its occupants.

and a very pale Grey Squirrel searching for buried treasure

Albeit a town wander, it was good to get out and great to find something new.
