Taking a break

I'm moving house on Tuesday and won't have broadband for a couple of weeks after the move.
Back soon...

No dogs allowed

From 1 May to 30 September, many of the Brighton and Hove beaches are dog-free like this one in Hove; other beaches are dog-friendly throughout the year.

A messy paint job

Ready for unveiling

These poles are going up all over town - this one's in Churchill Square - and they'll show tourist information.

Pavement, Stirling Place.

About the church

Advance warning

Many local roads will be closed next Sunday for the Brighton Marathon; details of the route are here.

House name

I hadn't come across the word tye before noticing this house name. I had a hunt on the net and found out it's an old Sussex word meaning a patch of common land, often a village green.

I think we get the idea...

Early warning

Telling the public

Sign at the western end of Hove seafront.

The white-liners are back

This time they're changing the uses of some parking bays on Princes Avenue by burning off the old lettering.

Doing it freehand

Straight sections of letters are painted with the help of a metal bar so the lines don't wobble; curves are done freehand.

Repainting road signs

Work is under way locally to repaint faded and worn road signs - this is one of the disabled parking bays outside the Federation of Disabled People in Hove Street.

Hove War Memorial 2

Unlike some other war memorials, this memorial does not display the names of the fallen. The Roll of Honour commemorating the names of the 631 men who died during World War I is in the foyer of Hove Library.

Info for cake-lovers

Several friends have asked me to describe the exact location of the eagerly anticipated but not yet open Treacle & Co in Hove. Here you go - photo taken from the entrance to Hove Tesco looking across Church Road.

Things I love about living in Hove 1

Brighton & Hove has a superb library service offering book borrowing and computer access for free - there's a small charge for borrowing CDs, DVDs and audio books. I listen to a lot of audio books (they're great for knitting to) over the course of a year and I borrowed this lot from Hove Library today using my audio-visual subscription card - the card is an absolute bargain at £30 a year (half price for over 60s like me) and I can take out up to 8 items at the same time. Now, which one shall I start listening to first....

Limescale

We have very hard tap water down here on the coast. I flushed this little lot of scale out of my kettle - the largest piece is about 2.5cm (1") across.
