A trip to Pulborough Brooks…
What a lovely place! It’s only 12 miles north of us so very easy to get to. Below you can see the pond which has newts, frogs and lots of other life. The clouds looked rather ominous! There’s the Highland Cow watching me. Tricia outside the hut and then an inside view. I’d love to live there! Finally, the cafe. Visit their website here.
