Plans got rearranged this weekend, so Stonehenge and the Jane Austin house and museum got moved to next weekend. I ended up spending yesterday morning shopping in Chichester. It's a beautiful little town, centered around the Chichester cathedral. It's actually an old Roman city, and parts of the original Roman wall still stands.

| Beautiful day to shop! |

| Lunch at The Fountain (fancy fish and chips - pretty good, but the best seem to be the ones they throw on newspaper and serve to you in a less stylish fashion). |
Today I helped my hosts set up their beach hut. The weather is turning warmer, and since the beach is only 1 mile away, it's a nice place to go read, cook out, and relax on pretty days. Not sure that the water will be warm enough to swim in before I leave, but it's still a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend the day. I think the rest of the afternoon I'll just catch up on some of my television programs I've missed and then read a little.
All in all it was a pretty relaxing weekend, apart from receiving some upsetting news about my grandfather being in the hospital. I wish there was more I could do, but from 5000 miles away it's difficult. I'm trying not to think about it until I hear further news, but that's not very easy.
