saint andrews church at bishopstone near seaford, almost too tidily restored ...

 

... with twelfth century corbels ...

 

... and bishopstone bird life, jackdaws and weather cock

 

you couldn't make it up ...

i drove past a bus queue on this freezing morning

six of the seven looked rigid and miserable

the seventh was a stout party, about eighteen stone, with a wide and guileless face, dressed in the kind of charity shop clothes from long passed decades that a caring institution might provide

he stood with feet wide apart and bounced up and down, his head thrown back, his right hand using a half-eaten apple as a plectrum for his air guitar

you've probably encountered bob ...

before either of us had opened our eyes on sunday morning, i said "if you really loved me, you would have already mentioned tea and toast"

quite early one morning, above the fog at steyning bowl
