We looked around the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arundelmuseum.org.uk\">Arundel Museum<\/a> and called into some of the many antique shops.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s always very relaxing to visit Felpham and, for Vee, it&#8217;s a return to the area where she was brought up. However, for me, a few days is enough because, as someone who has only ever lived in Manchetser or London, I&#8217;m a townie who loves a faster pace of life and a more cosmopolitan citizenry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vee and I have just returned from a couple of days visiting her twin sister Mari and her brother-in-law Derek on the south coast of England.
