Arundel Walks, furniture paint courses, pieces in House & Garden, Nass Interiors and other chat.
Good Morning.
A couple of Arundel dates for diary
to kick things off.
to kick things off.
Arundel Farmers market
is always the
is always the
3rd Saturday of every month.
All around the town centre.
Ford Car Boot,
which surely must be the best in the area?
Every Saturday at
Ford Airfield.
Get there early to avoid the disappointment of
missing the wonderful bargains to be had.
If you want a stall I think they start queuing REALLY early.
My friend Gwen is a regular stall holder and has been
known to sit in the line from 03.30 hrs.
to earmark her same pitch.
Also, while you are down there,
I hear that Ford Prison have a wonderful
garden shop, but I am not sure of opening hours.
No, really, this isn't a joke and the opening hours
isn't meant to be a play on words.
It REALLY is meant to be a great shop.
If I hear of times and more information, I'll post them
What changeable weather we've been having, hey?
One day its so hot, the next back to winter.
I had a great walk the other day and thankfully,
remembered to pack my zoom lens.
I did set my
Map my Walk.
Put it on private though.
One of the last walks I did the thing
played up and told the world, through
Facebook I had just walked 112 miles.
Not bad for an afternoon.
I had people congratulating me for weeks.

| walking along into town from Fitzalan Road, along the riverbank |
 |
| we always think this old barn would make such a fabulous house |
I started walking along the river bank
but I am not brilliant at walking through herds of cows...
I know, I know, pathetic, but there you are.
I decided to head down to Swanbourne lake and take to the hills.

I walked up into Arundel Park and came back through town and as I did so popped my head round the door of the Tudor Rose cafe
on the corner of High Street and Tarrant Street.
I just had to tell Jackie
how wonderful it looks after their re-furb.
Didn't pass the threshold as my boots were caked with mud.
She was telling me they are opening the space downstairs
and will have antiques down there.
Mostly smalls.
They are opening it this weekend.
Have a look if you are visiting Arundel.
When I know more I'll put it on the blog.
Funnily enough many years ago I ran a
vegetarian lunch bar at Sion School in Worthing.
Jackie's daughter was then Head Girl
and used to come to give me a hand every lunchtime.
Small world hey?
She is now a very successful interior designer in San Francisco.
Next month ,
I will be starting courses in our
Arundel Eccentrics
Riverside Studio.
Painting, distressing and finishing antique and vintage pieces.
Decoupage and gilding.

| Nass Interiors...two men and a van |

| My Nass....cheeky chappie...seems to make friend wherever he goes |
He has been all over the place this week,
delivering for interior designers and antique dealers
breaking down stands at
Battersea Decorative Fair
and returning the pieces to the clients shops,
where he and Russell then set it all up.
I have to say, their display is second to none.
Long, long days.
They seem to enjoy it though.
