Boating at Houghton Bridge Although this photo was taken about 70 years ago, the basics of the site has remained unchanged. Caravans, parking, tea rooms, and boating, though I believe that oars have now been replaced by outboard motors!

Wild garlic by the West Sussex Literary Trail There was an abundance of wild garlic (ramsons) hereabouts - though oddly you could hardly smell it. I guess the strength of the smell depends on the flowering stage that the plant has reached?
