Sitting pretty

The constant roar of traffic doesn't seem to bother the sheep in this field beside the bypass at Hangleton.

Colours of autumn

There might be gold underfoot, but there's still plenty of green overhead in this stand of beech trees.

Nature's gold

A beech tree sifts nature's gold coins through its finger-like roots.

Nourish Community Farm

Tucked away at the back of the council nursery in Stanmer is the Nourish Community Farm. I came across it first quite by accident when I saw a gate from the apple orchard. Seems this is the back entrance but I still haven't found the main way in. I must also find out what it is all about.

The funfair

Close by the French market, there was a funfair on Southwick Green. It was morning so the fair was not operating. Funfairs need lights, noise, people - otherwise they are rather tawdry places.


Funfair folk certainly look after their vehicles, like this old Foden truck.

More French colour

Still at the French market in Southwick Square, the shopping bags are full of colour.

But it was the patisserie that caught my eye.

Those strawberry tartlets look good enough to eat!

Going French

I dropped Mrs S off at the MS centre yesterday morning and did the shopping. On my way back to collect the Old Dear I came across a French market in Southwick Square. There was the usual colourful display of tablecloths...


...and a stall selling olives in all shapes, sizes and colours.
