Straddling the boundary

The Meeting Place Cafe is a popular place to stop for refreshments along the seafront. The cafe building is in Brighton; the outdoor seating area in Hove - the best of both worlds.

Changing places

The white line across the seafront marks the point where Hove becomes Brighton (or Brighton becomes Hove if you're walking in the other direction). Hove is to the right of the line, Brighton to the left.

Heraldry

Hove's coat of arms and Latin motto, Floreat Hova (May Hove Flourish) on a shopfront in George Street.

Looking in the opposite direction

George Street again - this time looking southwards towards Church Road.

George Street

George Street is about five minutes walk from where I live; this view is looking northwards towards Blatchington Road. The street is pedestrianised during the day and packed with restaurants and all kinds of useful shops.

Almost back to normal

Most of yesterday's snow is melting and the sun is shining; it still feels very cold though.

Snow

The forecast snow fell overnight; there's more on the way...

Dark sky, silver sea

Snow is forecast and the light is very strange this morning - the sky looks almost black but the sunlit sea is sparkling and silvery.
