We cycled from West Wittering and paused for a pleasant half hour on the hard at Itchenor – boat-watching. It’s 42 years since we lived at nearby Birdham. The view has changed but not a lot – people and boats.

I like the balance in this image.

I would have sat here all morning watching the tide flow but the message came to move on. Ten minutes later I had a punctured rear tyre.
