Camping Adventure - Day Three

Day Three

We found at the local Co-op - which is rubbish - a strange addition to the cash point. It was a head phone jack (pictured here). I'm not too sure of it's purpose, if one was blind and needing audio assistance then one would be unable to locate it on the unit as it is so small!! strange.

Got up really early leaving Charli in bed and made her breakfast. Think I scored a few points there!

Charli woke up about 8-ish. We ate some beans and bacon, then tidied up ready to head off and find a beach. The weather is scorching so should be a great day.
We also thought that we ought to document the adventures of our neighbours in the big red van. Well . . . nothing to report as yet. Since Sunday they have not left the van. It would appear that they are Dad and Daughter. He's quite old and apparently fragile and spends his time staring out the front window of the van. She sits in the back of the van at the table seemingly engrossed in whatever is on the screen of her laptop. We'll keep you updated.
We have looked at the map to find a nice beach and decided to try a place called Selsey. Lets hope Owen's map skills are up to the job.

To put it in a calm, collected "I'm-sure-we're-not-lost" kind of way, it would appear that Owen's map skills still need some improving. A.K.A. he's just realised that we cant get to Selsey through Pagham as there's a MASSIVE GREAT AREA OF WATER IN THE WAY! This little obstacle is known as Pagham Harbour. So the plan for the time being to check Pagham out.

Okay so Pagham isn't all that. In fact Owen's quite p****d off. The place is really tiny: about 20 houses, one shop, a big patch of water and an arcade yet its got a massive ramp set up!?

Had a coffee - we're going to try again to find Selsey in the hope that it's nice?!
Just a general note about the area. Something that has been causing us some amusement on our travels so far is that there are alot of signs for retards about. Instead of signs for 'Seafront' we keep seeing: 'THE SEA' --> And upon leaving Hunston there was a sign saying 'THANKYOU' we are not sure what we should be thanked for. . . leaving maybe?! All seems like it was made for simple minded people to us.

Amazing! For the first time since we arrived our neighbours in the red van . . . . WENT OUT!!! We got back from Selsey and they had also just arrived back at camp. Owen was so excited by this and almost jumped out of his seat shouting 'Charli look they moved!' - bless him. We are just having a quick tidy then we are off back to The Olive Tree to test the cuisine that the owner ranted about.

At the pub now. Just eaten and are now having a couple of drinks before we head back to camp. Owen had a traditional pizza [cheese and tomato jobby] and Charli had lasagne - its Italian night - BOGOF special! All very nice, no complaints here - much better then the newly renamed 'Grumpy Barman' where we go for eats back home. We are impressed. All the staff are smiling 'til their faces fall off and are very frindly. Lovely. Owen successfully broke the ice and nearly the whole pub as we walked in but an overly-nice lady and a tea towel later and all was well again.
I might have to make this my last entry in Owens PDA otherwise I will no longer be able to be annoyed by all this geeky technology bizzwizz etc - and we really cant have that. I will however continue to censor his reports and maybe type for him as I’m much faster at it than him! 'signing off' charli x x x

Wasp kill update 5 down and signs of red ants but we smushed ‘em.

While walking back from the pub we saw some sheep in a field. Owen shined his torch at them - being the inquisitive being he is. We didn’t realise their eyes glow green we nearly shat a cat each!! Charli was near hysterics so we rushed home. Madness. Gonna be dreaming about evil green eyed sheep for years to come. Also there was one crazy sheep who has been eating the grass on the other side of the fence every single time we go past. Bird brained sheep - the grass is actually nicer on his side! l don’t understand!!
