Bosham

Bosham

Saturday was a special day, so my girlfriend and I headed down to Bosham for a day out.

Bosham is a lovely little place in West Sussex.  It is right on the seafront in a natural harbour.  It has a couple of shops, a nice cafe over looking the sea and a craft centre.  It also has a waterside car which is underwater when the tide comes in!

We walked around the natural harbour following a man made path.  Every 10 or 20 metres there was a sign which said, “This path is flooded at every tide!”

It was quite a cloudy day, with some sun occasionally poking through.  At one point, we both saw it break through a gap in the clouds and we quickly put the camera to our eyes and starting taking photos of the light on the sea!

After we had walked around the area little we head to the craft centre before it closed.  There were a few nice things in there, but are visit was fairly short.  As we exited the centre I glanced across the top of the cafe to see a slight redness in the sky.  Quick I thought, theres a sunset!

We were greeted by this!

It only lasted about 10 minutes as sunset do and as we were finishing we saw another photographer there taking a couple of photos, but he said he seemed to have missed it.  Apparently they had seen the sky when leaving Chicester.

The sunset was the end to a lovely day

Well things are slowly getting easier at work, which is good news for my stress levels and I’m just managing to relax a bit more.

Christmas present shopping is nearly completed too, just a couple more to get tomorrow and the royal mail to do their job and delivery the remaining items.

Its the Maltings Christmas market on Tuesday as well, so busy getting things organised there.  I’ll be in a different location with a different table layout, I think more room!  So that will be interesting working out how to set that up on the day!

The Market, although not technical the correct date, marks 1 year of first meeting my Girlfriend! Wow, where has that year gone!  Must have enjoyed it!!

Well still got photos to print and things to sort out, so better get on with that I suppose.

Well if you understand that you might have a bit of an idea of the headache I have at the moment!

At work things were moved around and I had no idea of the grief it was about to cause me.  I had complaining mails, phones calls and all sorts for issues.  All of them out of my control and I’ve been trying to track down people to help fix things.

At one stage I had 1 mail every 2 minutes for 3 hours!  Nightmare.  Lots of chasing, problem sorting and issues!

7 days on, its still a headache but a little easier.

Hopefully things should get easier soon. They had better as Christmas is approach and I want to relax and enjoy it!
