Nice café food for an avid bench anorak

BRAVING the force eight wind for a bracing walk last week, I visited the new Boathouse Cafe, at Littlehampton Marina.

I don't know who the architect was but he or she could certainly give Thomas Heatherington and Asif Khan a run for their money when it comes to designing a really nice caf building with panoramic views across both the river and the open countryside.

I think next time I go I will pick a fine day and try out the sheltered outside area.

I wouldn't call the Boathouse groundbreaking or iconic; rather more sort of sensible, comfortable and easy on the eye.

Oh, yes, and the food is really nice, too; sensible, tasty and easy on the wallet.

Anyway, must dash.

I want to Google prices for a round-trip holiday to the No Sato Resort in Shika, Japan.

It has the longest bench in the world '“ so far.

It is 460m long '“ Wow! Imagine that!

Can't wait to see it and spend loads of yen in their local shops.

Any other sad bench anoraks out there interested in maybe getting a coach party together?
