West Sussex - early autumn

We're quietly filling in time until the wedding day and visiting some local places. The Weald and Downland open-air Museum is a quiet and pleasant place populated by retired volunteers and people from our demographic. Apparently, someone in the sixties decided it would be good to collect old buildings that were standing in the way of progress (roads, railways and those ghastly sixties abominations that Prince Charles rails about) and erect them at the museum site.
They have a fully operational flour mill, a forge, a school, a corrugated iron church and other impressive examples.

Here are the school and the flour mill. The school looks just like my kindergarten class and we did have slates.

The following day we headed for Portsmouth in search of shops but also HMS Victory and the naval museums. We immediately noticed the demographic - couples like us - which perhaps explains this choice of refreshments at one of the cafes.
