This month started off rather bitterly cold, with the first weekend popping into R&D Goatley's to start looking at new windows for the house. After that we took a drive out towards Worthing and stopped at Widewater Lagoon near to Lancing. On the Sunday we took a drive over to Devil's Dyke for a nice scenic walk around there.

On the next weekend, we visited Saddlescombe Farm which was open over the Spring lambing season. We had bought tickets for the Saturday which was rather enjoyable seeing the lambs, walking around the farm and finishing with a tractor/trailer ride around the fields. On the Sunday, it was the Brighton Marathon and it extended as far as the Shoreham Power Station nearby us, so in the morning we took a walk down there and watched some of the runners heading past which had a great atmosphere with all the other spectators too.

The next weekend was Easter Weekend, so that Friday afternoon we took the cargo bike over towards Hove and met up with Laura, Dennis and the boys near Hove Lagoon. On the Saturday, we spent the morning in the garden, then walked down to The New Port Arms in the afternoon followed by dinner at The Cricketers. On the Sunday, I took Ellen on the scooter down to the rec for a bit and then we had a little Easter Egg hunt in the garden in the afternoon. That evening, after hearing the tragic news back home, Una managed to fly out to Ireland to spend some time with her family and everyone there :(

During the week, while it was just me, Ellen and Ian, we alternated between home, the park and the beach. Plus having the cargo bike made trips to the beach and back so much easier indeed.
