Shopping is good and there is a cathedral which looked worth visiting but was conducting a funeral. So I went off to walk the Bishop's Palace Garden which was very pretty.

Day Trip to Chicester
So what does one do in Gosport when John is off exploring his childhood (weird sense of dejavu here. Have I written this before? Anway....) one takes a day trip to Chichester. I caught the train and had a lovely day. It's only a 30 min train ride away and very easy.

Chichester was founded in 43 AD with the Romans doing their thing as they did so well. The Romans left in 400 AD leaving the wall they built around the city, and the Brits took over. The Cathedral is 11th century and in 1861 the spire collapsed and was rebuilt during the 19th century. it is unusual in that it has a separate bell tower a few metres away.
