Today we went to the the sea service at Newtown at 3pm down at the quay in the wind and sunshine. It is my third year as the seasonal nature reserve warden and the last two sea services I have either been busy or away on the mainland. It was really nice to go, meaningful to be outdoors and the refreshments in the boatshed were delicious. I am on my way to a fiddle concert at Havenstreet with Samuel. I am preparing props for my children's activities at Newtown and yesterday I bought a suitable smugglers chest! Above is a picture of such a chest and a home-made puppet theatre used for marine nature and ecology education at Chichester Harbour.
