Saturday walk into the city

A beautiful day and everyone we meet is happy. We meet quite a few people - a man painting his house, Margaret Younge a new member of the Camera club & the Spire U3A who had just bought herself a digital camera. Her daughter Sheila with her 2 daughters Lily and oh I have forgotten the other one. Drat. Met Evelyn and Maureen outside M&S too. Here too Sheila found a strange device. A small blue plastic thing. Maybe it was someones car opening device. So in a jeweler's shop, where we tried to buy some of those tiny silver batteries and the old ones were perfectly OK, we inquired if they knew. But no.
Sheila was interested in buying a new lens for her camera and we looked in 3 camera shops ending with Castle Cameras. Booked to see one on Tuesday but Sheila saw yet another Camera bag that took her fancy. She is always trying to find the perfect one. We took it with us on appro. Later Sheila decided that it was not built for women!
Onto to the Farmers Market to buy smoked trout terrine for lunch and then home wards. We saw a Security guy but he was no help over the wee plastic key. However in the Close the man in the hut who takes money for car parking was able to pass it on to City Security. Well let us hope that someone is not stranded in a car park.
On the way back I took a picture of Margaret's daughter and family and more of the man painting [really spraying hence the newspapers over the windows].

Yesterday we went to Parnholt wood near Farley, Hampshire. After looking inside St John's Church set alone amongst the fields we walked a mile to the wood to see the Bluebells. Magnificent they are too. I have added here a couple of the photos I took then. Double click the images to see it bigger and better.

Yesterday I took some pics of daffodils and primulas and a rather sad tent.
The tent was not occupied but it was with trepidation that I set up my tripod [yes indeed] to take this photo and another closer version. It was pitched under one of the arches of the bridge into the city that goes over the Avon.

Bexhill

Two more photos from the stairwell of the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill
Since the last blog the weather has been much colder. Quite freezing and even had snow.
Yesterday we went round the historic parts of Wilton. The pics will be posted up later.

We are back after being in East Sussex last week for 4 days. We had super weather - sunny, warm(ish) and in good company. There were 11 in total; all photographers and we occupied a complete hotel in Bexhill right opposite the De La Warr Pavilion [built 1935]. First picture of the stairwell. The second photo is of the small pavilions built for King George the Fifth's coronation.

We made trips to old Hastings [next 3 pics a) Man painting, b) Net Sheds, c) Fishing Boats hauled up onto beach, Rye Harbour (photo of red roofed shed on beach).

Dungeness (no pics) and the Romsey Marshes (picture of St Thomas a Becket's church at Fairfield set amongst lonely fields) and ended up near Beachy Head.

Actually the Birling Gap (next picture taken from the rocky foreshore) and then Seaford Head (showing the seven sisters). The latter overlooks the Seven Sisters white cliffs. Not to be confused with the white cliffs of Dover. I will add a sample of the photos I took during that time.
