Local crafts

With a few exceptions most of the stalls at the local markets I have found have been dull and uninteresting.

Unique, handmade, sustainable sterling silver jewellery. Crafted by hand in the UK Silver Hollow Jewellery provides high-quality pieces including sterling silver rings, chains, pendants, bracelets and earrings. We also make a range of recycled jewellery including coin rings, spoon rings, and more eco-friendly pieces

Which was why I stopped to talk to Jib Hagan. No ways he is going to earn any awards for the design and presentation of his stall.

But what he lacked in the way of shelter from the elements he made up for with enthusiasm and passion.

Hand woven bags using recycled plastic waste.

It’s a little ironical when you stop to think how recycled plastic waste ends up back on the street, in a stall being sold into the market and the journey taken to get here.

Breakfast

If you appreciate fresh eggs, with your full English, Crispins in East St serve a good breakfast.

Best English breakfast in Chichester Harbour

There are two if not three different rooms giving one the choice of finding a table in a quiet corner.

Comfortably informal, it is an independent family run cafe serving fresh home-cooked meals and one of the best traditional English breakfasts in the Chichester Harbour area.

Well cooked, well presented and if you choose the big breakfast you won’t be disappointed. Unpretentious, down to earth, often a very busy cafe serving good food and the sort of service which keeps one going back for more.

Christmas ham

Not really snow but close enough. I drove up to Midhurst after a heavy frost as the sun rose, to pick up our Christmas ham from Michael Courtney Family Butchers.

A magic time of day with the heater going full blast. Parking no problem, very little traffic besides one idiot in his SUV sitting on my tail through West Dean, Singleton and Cocking.
