Thank you Alain and greetings from England. The Nile is an absoute gift to anyone with a camera and a passion for photography. It's hard to take a bad shot. Suze
My grandfather Jacob 'Tommy' Berg built an estate nearby in the 1920's. Pulman carriages were £24 delivered by horse and cart. A 1st class saloon carriage were little more. One of them is now 110 years old. There were no 'services', so rainwater was caught in large corrugated cylinders, cesspits were dug, and paraffin was used for cooking and heating. Army huts from Aldershot camp and hospital. Most properties were sold for about £200 and a ground rent was charged. Some are now changing hands for about £300,000! the beach was littered during the war with shot-down German Aircraft.
This is actually Home Park not Bushy, sorry. Home Park is the Park that leads through tp Hampton Court and is where Henry VIII hunted. The Ice house still stands in the park and is worth a look. x
I just love Selsey, and because it sticks out into the sea it often gets Sunshine when nowhere else does and you get fantastic huge skies there. Also the sea is great for swimming if you're not too confident as you can stay between the "Groynes". x
I don't know if this man and his son had been selling at the market or were just there to pick up provisions. They just made such a fabulous picture, if it weren't for the rubber tyres on the cart it could be centuries old.
