Herstmonceux Castle

  Another day out, another overcast day but this time at Herstmonceux Castle. The daffodils are defying the miserable weather though and add some much needed colour to the drabness of sky. This… [more]

Pylons across Romney Marsh

Herstmonceux Castle

April 12, 2013

  Another day out, another overcast day but this time at Herstmonceux Castle. The daffodils are defying the miserable weather though and add some much needed colour to the drabness of sky.

Hastings Underpass Mosaics

March 15, 2013

I’ve walked past the Hastings underpass mosaics hundreds of times, but never took the time to really look at them. I think the reason I’ve never stopped before is that you’re always likely to get tapped up by whichever beggar is dwelling in the underpass. They are very good pieces of work though. Each one tells the [...]
