Emsworth was originally a busy fishing village, specialising in oysters.

That was until The Dean of Winchester and two others died of food poisoning at a Mayoral Banquet in the early 1900’s. The industry collapsed overnight and it has become a quaint, sleepy coastal harbour served by excellent rail and road links to Portsmouth, Chichester, Brighton and London.

There is a vibrant sailing community with two sailing clubs and a marina. The village has two tidal mill ponds, a picturesque harbour, characterful local pubs, good local primary schooling, and several excellent restaurants. It is served by both a local Coop, Tesco Express, two newsagents, two butchers, a hardware store and a greengrocer selling fresh produce. Emsworth has a thriving community, is well sought-after with half a dozen estate agents offices and a Travel Agency.

The south part of the town is particularly pretty, with a variety of period cottages and houses, and there are some beautiful walks along the harbour side.

There are cheesecakes and then there is Aidens Cheesecake. Despite the passing of time, still the very best ever.

If I am not mistaken however, Maddisons crunchie cheesecake ranks up there amongst the best of them.

Something that applies to most of what you will find on offer at the Tea Barn, Durleighmarsh Farm. Problem is I suspect it is only a winter thing. I have been back a couple of times and haven’t seen it for a awhile.

But the Pavillion at Stanstead has a special which is as good. Although once again, its likely to be just another winter thing.

Then there is the Driftwood Cafe which offers one, the most indulgent of them all.

Haven’t had much luck with steak restaurants. They are generally expensive, overrated, and dull.

Despite the restrictions placed on their use of the internet, the boys still manage to find more to interest them on their PC’s and cell phones.

Rather than sitting down and ploughing their way through the books we drew through the Library before we were locked down. Let alone the Year 7 Maths they will need to get through their GCSE’s. It’s going to be a steep hill they have to climb just to catch up. But that is for me to worry about.

School admissions are handled by the local council. When I phoned I was politely directed to the Council web site where you are supposed to be able to find all the information that is required. But in practice it doesn’t quite work out as well as it should. I was still left bewildered and overwhelmed.
