Eric Ravilious understood these places. Not always gentle. I often think of the sheep in their fields in the darkness, in pouring rain and terrific winds.

Hello to top notch loading bays, also used by drivers to park illegally - but less hazardously and without damaging kerbs - and as auxiliary bus stop space, or just extra footway space. Useful and a good way of keeping shops serviced in a planned way. Thank you Brighton & Hove!

A walk with a purpose, a bit of street observation, a quick note to the council to ask them about guidance for outlets using street space - it’s great to see streets for more than movement, but there are things that should be avoided (left). Otherwise this (right). Street lost its scheme, retailers furious, through traffic limits how they can use the street, people don’t have as much obvious reason to stay in the street.

Not often my bike looks petite.

Walking and cycling routes. Lovely. Though the bridge I’m on with a bike lane is obviously a vast tarmac boa constrictor - and it’s wobbling faintly!
