Found a coffee haunt for a while, to hill time while my teen has style applied to her hair.

A cozy coffee shop interior features black tables and chairs, a counter with a coffee machine, and a person seated by the window.

Morning from Hove. Having a rare day’s holiday, mainly to be chauffeur for the family.

I bought this mug for my Mum the best part of 25 years ago. I’ve now owned it for longer than she did; I inherited it 18 years ago. But I always think happy memories of her when I drink from it.

The other side of the river vanished yesterday.

A little piece of history: this is the Royal Oak, the pub in Swallowcliffe now co-owned by James May of Top Gear and The Grand Tour fame.

But this was long before he bought it, back in January 2009, when it was just a run-down looking pub with a sign with aspirations above the rest of the pub.

Happy with those. Now, let’s see how my daughters feel…
