What a beautiful sunny day it was yesterday; so we took Billy to the beach.
En route I spotted this van; a couple of rogues, if ever I saw them!
Ice cream on a warm Sunday afternoon; what better, even if giant and fiberglass.
Something to do with Football; not sure what.
Demonstrating the power of Oak tree roots, even the ancient wall yields. It's been like that as long as I can remember.
Definitely wronguns those two. Not a face nappy between them.
ReplyDeleteI did see one of them plying his trade, and you're right; no mask.
DeleteHow could they? Breakfast not finished and I'm clutching my pearls.
DeleteI think I remember that red brick building behind the icecream, somewhat like the Blackpool Hilton.
ReplyDeleteIt's the old Metropole, now called The Hilton. Brighton's next best after The Grand.
DeleteThe power of nature is paramount be it tree roots or storms such as we've had the last few days. Could we have some of your sun please.
ReplyDeleteI saw on the news that you'd had stormy weather. It's been quite nice here, and is sunny again today.
DeleteJust think who would have been around when that oak was just a tiny acorn.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that wall wonderful. Nothing stands in the way of an OAK.
DeleteIt's nice to spot quirky images from one's immediate environment. Anyone might think that you are an artist!
ReplyDeleteNo chance of that YP!
DeleteWall to wall blue sky after the storm has more or less passed through. Beautiful oak.
ReplyDeleteMany of the trees in the churchyard came down in the storm of 1987. We happened to be in Brighton at the time, and the devastation was shocking.
DeleteWhat a magnificent tree.
ReplyDeleteAnd strong enough to lift a wall.
DeleteJanuary at the beach in the sunshine sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was, but lots of people everywhere. It was almost like Summer.
DeleteLovely to see some photos from someone else's walk. A great selection from Brighton
ReplyDeleteI took a lot more, but these were the most fun (I think).
DeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely walk, but as always when the sun shines; far too many people at the beach.
DeleteThe last one brings memories. About five blocks from where I live now, there used to be a big old estate that was a mental hospital and part had a low stone fence like that one with a walking/biking path alongside it. All that remains now is a couple of the original buildings which are used for other things and the rest of the space is modern (ugly) townhouses with nowhere near enough parking spaces.
ReplyDeleteClear away the beautiful past, and replace it with the ugly modern (and, of course, forget to supply parking spaces).
DeleteThe two fellows in the truck picture have to be scoundrels. Their black hats give them away.
ReplyDeleteAs well as their shades!
