knitted sandwiches

I've seen plenty of knitted cupcakes and whilst they are almost completely without practical use, they are cute. But knitted sandwiches? I think there's a sausage roll in there somewhere too.

one shoe

I see this all the time. How does anyone get home without one shoe? Clearly I've been very lucky managing to keep my shoes on all day.

camper

Wouldn't you just love to drive off somewhere in this? A snip at £10k :) ps I'm not selling it, I just saw it parked on the street.

The light through the trees tonight in the park was beautiful.

no idea

I have absolutely no idea what this is a picture of; it sort of appeared on my camera when I was taking some shots on the way up to Devil's Dyke this afternoon.

huts

Can you believe that some of these huts go for upwards of £4000; three times that in Brighton.

ink

This is one of nine pieces that Cliff created in ink for a drawing course he attended years ago. You can just about see a reflection in the glass of the first ever painting that Liam did at school. What creative boys I live with.

chillies

Saw these chillies on my way home tonight and they reminded me of the time we stopped for some food in Jerantut, Malaysia and I ate my first proper green chilli. It was so hot, I thought I was going to die and just sat there with tears in my eyes. Horrible.

sky

View of the evening sky from my bedroom window. I've been sick today so that's pretty much as far as I got :(

mother's day

Here's my beautiful son Liam, the reason I can participate in Mother's Day, a day that marks motherhood and dates back to ancient Greece. Although I'm sure there weren't as many cards and bunches of flowers sold back then. Liam and I went into Brighton yesterday and there was a shopping frenzy going on, not unlike Christmas. On Mother's Day this year in the US, $671m was spent on cards.

cassettes

There are a few of these graffiti junction boxes around Brighton. They all seem to have cassettes painted on them and are more interesting than the usual green ones which are a bit ugly. Cassettes (for anyone born after about 1995) were the media of necessity, for anyone who was a teenager in the early 80's, to record the Top 40 singles off the radio on a Sunday night :)
