Sunrise over Shoreham Beach.

Beach life.

Lancing Beach.

Back in your in-boxes: season two of Engaged Reading Time starts here.


358 tabs open on my iPad Pro. I suspect my Easter project should be cleaning them down.

The girls are eating fish fingers and custard.

Yes, they’ve just watched The Eleventh Hour.


Interesting legal analysis of the arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.


News about our beaches like this makes me ashamed to be British.
