I took the little shop in Tarrant Street again as I did last year.
We popped up in just one day.
Actually, it was our 10th wedding anniversary..and we thought we didn't have time to celebrate, but our lovely neighbour, Hilde, was passing and came to say "hello". She went straight home to put a bottle of bubbly in her fridge and cook dinner for us all.
When we got to the point of keeling over, we went home,
and to the summer house by the river..or, as Hilde once christened it
" La Maison de Bonheur"
the champagne and the dinner duly arrived brought by our
dear friends and neighbours next door.
What a wonderful place Arundel is!

Oh for those who regularly buy our diaries...we managed to get the
Arundel Diary 2012
out in time for the festival.
It has loads more photographs/addresses
It has loads more photographs/addresses
and Arundel bits and pieces in, this year.
By the way, Allie Bond, my friend
I produce the Arundel Diary with,
is exhibiting at the last house on corner of Tarrant Street and Arun Street.
She makes some great handmade items such as her
"junk journals"
but also specialises in Wedding stationery and beautiful albums
made by hand and created just for the customer.
I have seen so many old friends who have either come specifically to see us, or just happened to come to Arundel for the festival..
either way its been lovely catching up with folks and locals also have been incredibly supportive

I've had a few people sign up through the shop,
which is great.
Come in and say "hello" if you are in Arundel.
I've just finished night duty, so will be a
tad late in opening.
BUT I managed to get tonight off so am looking forward to my last couple of days and the excitement of the festival
Where to next?? I have no idea..
who knows what's around the next corner!
We will, however be at the next Ardingly in September
