One place I always intended visiting (but never got round to it) is the old Chalk Pits Museum at Amberley. Now called the Amberley Working Museum it's only a few miles from here. I know there's a few James Bond fans on this forum. Does this look familiar?



How about this?

Here's a close-up of the inscription.

I'd completely forgotten that this is the location where the mine & airship sequences in "A View to a Kill" were filmed. I remember seeing the blimp flying around here at the time. It's true what they say. You can travel hundreds of miles to see interesting things but often miss what's on your own dooorstep.

Look at that beautiful blue sky & cotton-wool clouds. Just the job. Despite the best efforts of that idiot Michael Fish & his cronies it turned out to be a smashing day. On a bank holiday Monday too.
Who said it's always raining in England?




. Mum came home on cloud nine (Sir Roger is her second favourite actor after Richard Chamberlin), she was well out of it and just kept saying "I held Roger Moores hand" 



Just mentioning that to anyone who may mistake England for Britain. The forecasters are rubbish up here. In England they have a high chance of getting it right, but up here regardless of what they forecast and regardless of what you see outside - sunshine or not - you always never leave without yr brolly! I miss the weather of the fair south.
