The Sovereign Light
There have been some amazing light conditions over the sea the last week. I don't have the kit or the skill to do it justice but here is a gallery of shots...
Up on the roof
What's happening on the roof of the De La Warr Pavilion? There seems to be a BMX / skateboarding ramp up there. The roof of the Pavilion can be an entertaining space. On closer inspection it's a nice little facility. Is the DLWP adding street sports to its mission? Kind of. It looks like it's … Continue reading Up on the roof

Eddie Izzard at the De La Warr Pavilion
A couple of weeks ago we went to watch Eddie Izzard, patron saint of Bexhill, perform on the roof of the DLWP. The whole show was done beneath 'the bus' which Mr I sponsored.

You wait ages for a bus…
We went for a walk into Bexhill this evening. There are strange goings on at the De La Warr Pavilion. There seems to be a bus peeping over the top of the building. We've been looking forward to this coming since it was announced earlier in the year. Kudos to artist Richard Wilson, the Pavilion's … Continue reading You wait ages for a bus…
Michelham Priory
Michelham Priory dates back to 1229. It's a beautiful site with much to see and enjoy. We visited on a quiet day but there was a blacksmith at work in the smithy, a Tudor cook at work in the kitchen and archers demonstrating their skills in the grounds. The house was originally an Augustinian priory … Continue reading Michelham Priory
