Graffiti event

There is some kind of graffiti event (or Graff Jam as the young people call it) going on around the new Station building site - part of the Brighton Hip Hop Festival, tho I can't find any web reference to it -- took these photos on my way home from a Clarion bike ride. More on Flickr.

Library fans' fury at bargain book sale: yes, where are all the books in our new award-winning library? I'm conviced there were more on display at the temp library at Vantage Point.

Two hills

Hmm, keeping a blog up to date isn't easy! On Sunday was in the sweep van for the Capital to Coast bike ride (so didn't see many cyclists!) on a very hot day. Didn't take many photos, but here are two hills – Box Hill (below) near the start and Devil's Dyke (above) near the end.

These are some of the blighters who stomp around on my studio roof and whose parents, I suspect, knock over and drink my milk!

Yvonne's Diary part 2 clears up the mystery why Neil Innes was so alo-ho-ho-hone supporting the Rutles on Wednesday 8 June. A great read! Looking forward to the comeback tour...

Austin I


Austin I, originally uploaded by fred pipes.

On our regular Sunday Clarion bike ride, we stopped at a pub – The Laughing Fish, Isfield –right by the Lavender Line and I couldn't resist a quick look, especially since I'd heard the toot of a steam loco. It was 0-6-0 saddle tank Austin I, built in Leeds in 1932 by Kitson & Co Ltd. I had a quick look in the sheds and spotted a Sentinel vertical boiler loco.

Make Poverty History in Brighton

Brighton's Make Poverty History demo aimed to form to a human white band around the Royal Pavilion. Well, unfortunately there weren't quite enough folk to do that, so we walked around it instead!
