I hope you have managed to watch an episode of wild Isles presented by Sir david Attenborough. The series promises to be a beautiful and extraordinary celebration of British wildlife and reminds me of all the natural wonders in west Sussex which we can access, without charge, from our own doorstep.

Favourites include the serene Bishop Palace Gardens, next to Chichester, the unique Highdown Gardens, just off the A259 heading East towards worthing, home to a ‘living library’ of rare plants and trees and the wide expanses of Kingley vale with its majestic yew trees where you might hear the gentle thrum of a green woodpecker. Not forgetting the glorious sunsets that can be seen from the Bognor seafront, Felpham, Middleton and Climping beaches and Pagham Harbour. So much to see and do in our own patch of the British Isles as Spring kicks in during the Easter break.

Next month I am launching a new feature called ‘My Favourite Place in Sussex’. This can be a view, walk, café, natural beauty spot, museum, pub, shop - anywhere you like, but a place that makes you happy and you would like to share with others. Please send your ideas to me at the email address below and we look forward to sharing them in the May issue.

Enjoy your eggs and have a very Happy Easter.

Best wishes, Kate gary@arundelclocks.com
