My Friends live just outside Chichester in the small coastal village of Bosham
The village library
The villagers maintain the box.
I've seen a few like this one that have been given a new lease of life and looked after.
It was criminal that these lovely phone boxes were replaced by
the hideous Mercury glass and metal eyesores.
After leaving Chichester I stayed a night in Arundel, a lovely market town in the vale of the South Downs, West Sussex. It has a medieval castle and a Catholic cathedral.
View of the castle from my hotel room
Very nice comfortable room
Roomy bath and shower room
I didn't do my homework before planning this visit.
Being November the castle was closed......I think it's beautiful inside.
It's a pretty town
Muscovy ducks outside the tearoom
every time people arrived in their cars or left the tearoom the geese approached them en masse!
I liked Arundel
We have snow again, the temp reached 14C on Friday,
this morning the wind chill felt like -10!! crazy weather.
~Be warm and well ~

What a treat to see your lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteWe've had snow today and it's still snowing!
Roll on Spring.
All the best Jan
Oh yes please. We had snow over the weekend, today has been glorious with sunshine and a high of 12C.
DeleteI've never been to Arundel. It looks rather wonderful, especially the magnificent castle. The castles here in Northern Ireland are mostly old ruins with little left standing. I've heard of those phone-box libraries before - a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the Muscovy ducks follow anyone who might have some food!
Animals learn very quickly that where there are humans there is usually food!
DeleteThat’s village library is the best idea I have seen in years. Bravo to all who contribute to its success.
ReplyDeleteSo many were just left to fade and rot so it's nice to see them taken over by communities.
DeleteThank you for visiting David.
DeleteWhat a lovely place to visit. I love the geese and the library is simply brilliant.

Hello Amalia, people borrow the books that others have contributed, and it works very well. I don't know how the books fare in very cold wet weather though. x
DeleteLove the phone box library, they have so much character and history those phone boxes, I'm happy they are being used. Arundel looks lovely Polly, looks like the skies were blue for your visit!
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, yes the weather was gloriously Autumn - cold but sunny :-)
DeleteOh my, what an enchanting place! And that castle...be still my heart! It's simply stunning. Loved the phone box library - what a fun and unique idea.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, dear Polly!
