Cheeky coffee and bap at Edge by the Sea after dropping my youngest at a Brownies day.

A small table in a cafe is set with a book, an empty plate with utensils, a coffee cup, and condiment bottles, with a chair and cushion nearby.

Survived the first day of lecturing this academic year. Just 9½ weeks to go…

A hallway in City St George’s with rows of lockers and a glass-paneled wooden door leading to another area.

Abandoned shoe on the beach.

A worn-out white and peach Nike sneaker lies in the grass.

Another day, another pub. 🍺

A pub with a sign that reads "Welcome to The Kings Head at Staplehurst" is beneath a string of bulb lights against a partly cloudy sky.

Morning from a Kentish pub.

Here’s a secret: Fritz Kola is one of the main reasons I love going to Hamburg…

Several bottles of Fritz-Kola are displayed behind a glass surface.

Liking the aesthetic of this coffee shop.

A woven rattan light fixture is hanging from the ceiling, surrounded by a ceiling fan, dried plants, and pastel-colored mugs on a shelf.Two woven pendant lights hang from a ceiling beside a potted plant, with natural light coming through nearby windows.

Saying goodbye to Hamburg again. Great trip this year, even if BA seemed reluctant to actually fly any of us home…

Hamburg airport terminal is bathed in sunlight with several parked airplanes and luggage carts on the tarmac.

Lovely autumnal moment in the churchyard.

A historic-looking lamppost stands in a sunlit, tree-filled cemetery with old gravestones in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Yup. Definitely autumnal.

A yellow leaf and small sprout rest on a car windshield with a rainy car park visible.

Back to the early morning swimming lessons. The summer holidays are truly done.

Three people, two wearing Dryrobes and swim hats, walk towards a green building with a sign that reads "Welcome to Lancing College."

Something tells me autumn is on its way.

A person rides a bicycle through London’s Northampton Square, which is covered in autumn leaves, surrounded by trees and benches.

Making the most of the end of the summer hols.

A blue tent is set up in a wooded campsite, adorned with colorful triangular flags.

Acorns, ripening.

A branch with several green acorns is surrounded by leaves.
Three dried thistle-like plants with spiky exteriors stand against a blurred green background.

Iconic view.

A coastal landscape features towering white cliffs - the Seven Sisters, a pebble beach with people scattered along it, and a quaint house foregrounded by lush greenery.

Life is hell.

A sunny beach scene with several people relaxing on the sand, a sailboat in the distance, and a thatched hut structure partially visible in the foreground.

Sometime in the late 50s, my mother did a river trip down the Thames, based on these old negatives.

I wish I could work out what the under-construction building are/were.

A white lighthouse with a red top stands on a stone embankment in St Martin de Ré, with a few trees nearby and the ocean visible in the background.
