Mirror, Mirror on the Wall......Beautiful Antique Mirrors, Inspirational marriages, Petworth and Arundel walks to soothe the soul

Good Morning
from
Arundel


I hope your weekend was a good one.

Further to the chat about weddings yesterday
this is inspirational.

My grandparents married and 
remained together for 73 years.



This was a couple of years 
before they both
passed away.

Actually, at Nanny's wake,
Grandad fell down the stairs,
we had to call an ambulance.

He went to the 
hospital in Brighton
and never returned home again.

Bless him,
I often wonder if after 73 years
 with one person,
you just wouldn't want to go home alone.



Anyway, lets not get morose.

Mirror Mirror on the wall.

Walks to soothe the soul


I had a lovely 4 mile walk up into the hills
 behind Arundel yesterday afternoon/evening.

It was glorious and Oh! so peaceful.

Here are some photos I took along the way.
























Beautiful hey?

I lived in Arundel for almost 
20 years before I discovered
these stunning, hidden away, walks.

Shame on me, for not exploring sooner.





Its a stunning place to look down on Arundel Castle

Hiorne Tower in the distance...hmmmm what's going on over there?










the great thing about these walks you can watch the changing seasons.









Have a great day
whatever you are doing.
