We had a quiet start to the day. After my first coffee and ablutions, I headed out for a walk (I hadn't managed any actual exercise during the weekend). There was a slight nip in the air, but it was bright, sunny, and cloud-free. By the time I arrived home, it was warming up nicely.
After some breakfast, we grabbed our gear and walked to the bus stop for a trip to Chichester. I had called Kim and she resolved to meet us in town at some point. We wandered along examining the various shops. One plane was to visit the recently opened WoolOvers shop. This turned out to be a bit of a damp squib for me. The shop only stocked ladies' clothes. Leaving there I took Di across the road to Clinkard's to look at some shoes that had caught my eye last week. I received the royal seal of approval and now have a very smart pair of shoes. We met up with Kim and continued to browse. We stopped at Hotter where I had rejected a pair of trainer-style shoes last week. I looked at them again and received the royal seal once more. They should be delivered at the end of the week.
We stopped at Crispin's for lunch. As usual, there was a wide selection of fresh, tasty, and hearty food. We all chose well and enjoyed our lunch before moving on. Diane wanted to raid H&M for some clothes for Ellie, so we left there clutching armfuls of bargains. We bade Kim, adieu, and caught the bus home.
The afternoon was spent with our Kindles, in the warmth and comfort of the Orangery.
My phone pinged. It was Trevor. The new brochure for SAGA river cruises is out. He suggested we might like to look at a cruise along the Moselle for next year. Thirty minutes later it was booked and a deposit paid.
