One perfect rose

No name tag on this pink rose in the Waterloo Street Communal Garden, but it smells divine.

Sounds tasty

Dish of the day, i gigi General Store, Western Road.

Let's have some colour!

Cross Street

Stained glass propped between window and curtain - what a nice idea! The hanging basket could do with a bit of attention though...

Have you voted?

I hope you've exercised your democratic rights today by voting in the local and European elections. This is Hove Museum and Art Gallery, my local polling station.

It's that time of year again

Royal Pavilion Gardens, Brighton.

Morning at the Pavilion

Brighton's Royal Pavilion.

Beep, beep

Repair work's going on at Hove Manor on the opposite side of Hove Street from where I live. I realise that hiring a cherry picker is much less expensive than erecting scaffolding but the damn thing beeps loudly at one second intervals (I timed it) when the platform's moving. I need earplugs...

Waiting...

...in the sunshine for Brighton's Jubilee Library to open its doors. Knit and natter every Tuesday morning from 10am - 12 noon.

Bikes

Parked bikes, Lansdowne Place.

Walking along Vallance Road this morning, I noticed that the lumpy, bumpy tree has sprouted new leaves all over its trunk.

Pink & green

At home

I'm feeling somewhat uninspired today so here's a shot of Flossie in one of her favourite spots.
