Coastal visit






We had a very nice trip down to the coast last week. One place we visited was Bosham which is exposed to floods from the estuary it lies on. Two solutions to the problem have been to raise the bottom of the front door to an expected level above flood water, but keeping the top of the door the same height; and to have steps out of the living room window down to the road outside. The window is a bay and the bottom is lead lined to make it waterproof.

The aaah! factor was the boats as usual, and the permit breaking swan.
