Day out to the seaside with Jon & Abby
Today I traveled from my sisters house in Maidstone to Jon’s house in Bognor Regis via Horsham where I picked up Abby.
When we arrived in Bognor we were met by a strange looking pink car driven by Jon. He is a crazy guy, but brilliant!
After visiting his church and seeing his tidy office, we went back to his house to pick up a car that actually moved, and took it to a ‘local’ pub that served decent food. Ham and cheese baguettes later, we started to head off towards the Spinnaker Tower. We didn’t get very far before a member of the group who will remain nameless, left their handbag in the pub and had to go back for it.
We couldn’t find a suitable family configuration for the three of us and we couldn’t prove that we were all from the local area, and we also couldn’t face paying a ton to go up the tower, so we stayed outside staring at if for a while. There were quite a few boats moving in and out of the harbor, including a police boat that kept an eye on us!
Abby attempted to purchase items from some of the boardwear shops, so we had to drag her out kicking and screaming.
We trekked back to Jon’s house with Sparky amusing the motorists, and looked through some camp photos and stuff on Jon’s computer. I think we must have bored Abby with computer talk, because she decided it was time to go home. After walking her to the train station we headed off to another local pub, where I thrashed Jon at pool, 4-0. I don’t rate my pool abilities, so that is quite an achievement for me!
Later on we headed back to Jon’s house and played on his computer and chatted for a while. It was really good to catch up.
