Last week we headed over to Chichester to check out the cathedral there. It was absolutely stunning! Built in 1076 the church seems as long as a city block!

All the bishops through the years....

After lunch today we strolled through the local Gatcome park. In one corner we found a massive tree that must be at least a couple hundred years old. It was quite the tree! We thought it was really cool so we got some pictures of it.

Today the weather was very beautiful. Paul, Josephine, and I walked to the bus stop and headed down to the city center. We decided to split up and meet back at 5pm. Josephine was meeting Mark for lunch so Paul and I decided to check out the town. We went to the harbor, an old church, and then sat down by the water for a while. Great day!
Paul got this shot of this couple hanging out together.....
Old church whose roof was blown off durning WW II
We bought some cherries and fresh-made donuts....really good!

Today was a bit of a work day for us. Mark headed off to his job and we felt like we should do something productive. Paul weeded the garden and fixed one of their bikes while I helped Josephine clean the house and make Eggplant Parmesan. It was a great day and beautiful weather.
After dinner Paul and I took a walk though the little town of Portsmouth. Its a nice English village.
Enjoy the pictures from the day!

Today we headed to Mark and Josephine's church. It was really nice to go fellowship with other believers this morning and meet new people. Afterwards we had a couple over for lunch. Josephine made a delicious meal and then we talked for an hour or two with cheese and wine. Really great time.
Decided to take a walk around Farlington Marshes in the afternoon for exercise.
Here are some pictures.
Blurry but you get the idea!
