Beachy Head, again (day 6)
Today was another beautiful day so we both walked to Beachy Head – I only did the same walk yesterday, but what a walk it is!
Wow, just wow! 
This cyclist came down a long, steep hillside before turning left
(just in time, too!)

Beachy Head (day 5)
On a glorious day (what a contrast to several days of gales) a walk to the end of Eastbourne and up to Beachy Head on the South Downs. An absolutely wonderful morning. Some great images – thank you Sony Rx100 camera! Click on them for bigger pictures.
A steep climb at the beginning

Magnificent!
What a terrific view to end the walk

Hastings (day 4)
Today’s outing was a 20 mile drive down the coast to Hastings. It wasn’t as windy as the previous days but it was a lot colder. Hastings Old Town is interesting and well worth a visit though the crowded street-parking made it pointless to take photos. There are lots of small, independent shops and cafés which on a warmer day we might have spent more time investigating.

Eastbourne & Seaford (day 3)
On a sunny and windy morning, two more images of Eastbourne beach, taken from the pier.
Ten miles down the coast from Eastbourne is Seaford. I’ve never been a fan of Seaford but we were looking for somewhere to drive that was not too distant. There was a gale strong enough to blow us away so we headed briskly towards the inviting cliffs. There are some rather colourful beach huts on the promenade and a lot of activity as large trucks redistributed shingle from the end of the beach to further up. I didn’t envy the digger working so close to the water’s edge as the gale did its best to wash it away!

Eastbourne (day 2)
What a wonderfully, windy morning it was as we walked the long promenade towards the Beachy Head cliffs. These images give no sense of the violence as the waves crashed in and the wind blew a gale. On our return walk, with the wind now behind us, the sun briefly came out. In the town there were plenty of people shopping, and a solitary, heavily armed policeman protecting us (but from what?).

Eastbourne
We weren’t expecting to be on holiday, but things change, and here we are in windy Eastbourne. There was torrential rain all the way down though we saw the sun for about 2 minutes once we’d arrived. Hopefully we can expect some improvement during our stay. Our incompetent prime minister is shortly to announce a national lock-down. How this will affect our week remains to be seen. Watch this blog!

The Mole: Infiltrating North Korea
I really don’t know what to make of this 2 hour documentary on BBC iPlayer. Is it a spoof – possibly not – but it’s very odd. I don’t think I’d recommend watching it unless you’re curious as to what makes it so weird.

The old horse & the ladybird
I took my very heavy DSLR camera on my walk today, to see if I could cope with the cumbersomeness of it and to see if the pictures were better than my little Sony. I’m very disappointed with the pictures but these two are OKish. The camera is very cumbersome so I think I’ll stick to my Sony, though I might have a go taking the DSLR out with the telephoto lens to see if I can get something interesting.
