Sunset

July has been a rather disappointing month in the sunset department, but Tuesday's sunset almost made up for it.

12 Blatchington Road

Fancy

The entrances of 8 and 10 Blatchington Road.

Bug

Warm weather has brought out lots of insect life. I don't recognise this bug; he was about 2cm long and stayed on the outside of my balcony door for several hours. BTW, what looks like a dirty window is actually crusted with salt, the result of July's high winds.

Information

Presbytery

Watching

Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, Norton Road.

Missing the obvious

I was so busy concentrating on the coats of arms that I didn't notice what was in the window until much later when I looked at the photo on the computer. It's Preston Manor again.

Locked door

Doorway at the back of Preston Manor.

Leaving the garden

Deep purple

Clematis jackmanii - the flowers are huge (up to 15cm across) as well as being a fabulous colour.

Lily pads

Still in Preston Manor's lovely walled garden; this is a square pond filled with waterlilies and very nice it is too.

Time to go through the window...

Readers of a certain age will appreciate this round window in Norton Road.

Red brick, blue sky

The perfect contrast. Saturday, about 7pm.

Long shadows

North Road again, getting ready to take yesterday's photo.

Gardening

Gardening's in full swing round about. Whether you do the work yourself or get someone in to do it for you, it's beautiful weather for weeding, clipping and mowing.

Last night's sunset

In the distance

Looking westwards from Hove beach; Worthing Pier in the distance.

More from Brighton TAG

Eileen's showing Ida how to use a spindle; Alix is concentrating on her needlefelting.

Spinning in the sunshine

This is Lynne, a fairly new spinner, at the July meeting of Brighton TAG (Textile Arts Group). The group meets every month in the Scout Hall, Glebe Villas; when the weather's fine, activities move outside to the sports field.

Windy weather ...

... brings out the kitesurfers.

Mayfield Motors

Earlyish on a Sunday morning

Mainly joggers and dog walkers at this time of day; nice and quiet.
