The brilliant thing about true friends is that when you do catch up with them it is like you’ve never been apart. 

You know you’ve got a friend for life when this is the case. There’s something life affirming and brilliant about it. It’s the sign of a proper friendship.

Last week I got to catch up with Lisa, a friend I’d made during my PR Masters. I haven’t seen her since we graduated almost three years ago.

She’d come over from Brussels and I decided to take her to see Arundel Castle, a quintessentially British .

Seeing her was a real boost and I hadn’t realised just how much I missed her. The weather on the day was glorious and it proved to be the perfect place to chat and share everything we’d been up to over the past few years.

It was an excellent day out and I’d recommend visiting if you’re looking for something to do on the south coast.

Afterwards we took a stroll into the town and found a great little place called Motte & Bailey Cafe to have some tea and cake.

Here’s some pictures of the day, I hope it offers you a bit of escapism like it did for me. The grounds and castle are stunning! There aren’t many pictures from inside as it’s banned in most of the rooms. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend then I really recommend heading to Arundel Castle!
