Hungry Guest Cafe Petworth

Had breakfast here one Sunday morning a few weeks back. It is pricey, but good value. You get a lot for your money and it is all good quality stuff. Lovely spot for watching the world go by and very well done out.

It has been open since I think the end of June and seems to be getting plenty of customers. Its a shame it isn't open in the evening but it is a good option during the day.

Its now an interesting antique which specialises in (I think) glass. I guess from the name it used to be a small theatre. Or maybe not. But this early morning shot catches it in the sun.

Not entirely sure what this is all about. A set of posters with a sort of late eighteenth century look about them have appeared in Lombard Street. What does it all mean? I have no idea, but they do look interesting.

You often see unusual, interesting or just plain odd vehicles in Petworth. Especially when there is something on at Goodwood.

I snapped these daffodils in front of St Marys Church last Saturday. There is still plenty of opportunity for bad weather ahead, but at least once the daffodils start appearing you know that Spring is here and Summer isn't too far away.
