The Sussex breeze has been with us all day while the Sussex sun has been a bit shy.

Yesterday we had a great day around Brean in wonderful weather.
The conditions for flying the small kite on Brean beach were pretty much perfect; then we walked up onto Brean Down.
On the way up the many steps we were amazed to see this:



.......being created in the sand below.
We wandered around the Down taking in the sights of the fort:



and the huge concrete arrow pointing southwest:



......which was apparently installed to guide bombers to the practice range during WW2 ("It's in that direction, Roger Old Chap").
There's lots of other gems on the Down and by the time we got to make our descent to the beach the artwork was about complete:





I couldn't resist walking over to the huge image engraved in the sand by the artist.
Simon Beck had just finished his artwork as we arrived using a home made weighted sled with spikes on the underside:



He'd walked about 13 miles in 5 hours around the course of his sand art and was about to rush up onto Brean Down to watch the fast approaching tide return the sand to ripples.
A fascinating man and it's well worth having a wander around the internet for more information on his work.

A bonus point for you Paul, it is indeed Blackburn Farm. I’ve already encountered language problems as one of the elderly farm family thought I wanted to know if they had a cash machine when I asked where the Elsan point was

" Elsan point ".. How very refined...?
It's known as 'T shee toil , those parts.

We have just come indoors, after helping the sun go down, by staring hard at it, sipping red wine until it finally gave up and dropped behind the horizon, leaving a pinky, purple-ish glow.
21 degrees was feeling somewhat nippy.

I'd already tried toilet dump by that point ..............

Here at Chertsey C&CC site it's a breezy, dry but bright start to the day.
And the continual background noise from the M25 adds a certain 'je ne sais quoi'.

So today it'll be a bike ride along the Thames towpath to Hampton Court for us on this, the last day of our little jaunt around some of the C&CC sites.

" Low twenties, light clouds, little breezes.

Set fair for the foreseeable future.."

They say.

Rain... ?

Only a memory..

Wall to wall sunshine and no breeze here at Girvan

Here in West London it's about 14°C with a grey sky and pretty much still air.
It certainly feels very different to the lovely weather we've enjoyed during our potter around C&CC sites over the past few days - in fact it's feeling autumnal.
The temperatures forecast for Hertfordshire by the end of the week look disturbing - 12°C daytime and 5°C night time .

It started sunny here in Kelso, but clouded over for now. Should be unbroken sunshine and in the 20s this afternoon.

I'm delighted to report that it's all change in west London.
We have a clear blue sky, warm sun and still air.
