Hayling: memories of a balmier day
The last time I was on the island it was during a mini-heatwave Link This is up the other end on a typically "fresh" December afternoon
A dreary afternoon at Eastoke Corner
The weather this month has been by turn, cold and frosty, mild and damp, windy and squally. The US had a ferociously cold snap in Christmas Week, causing President Diden to caution "This isn't like the Snow Days we all enjoyed as kids, this is life threatening": in the event 61 died, with the worst area being Buffalo, NY.
Bus shelter in Sea Front: late December 2022
Bus stops range from a simple sign with the number of the bus and the company operating the service to elaborate structures that have an architectural pedigree all of their own. These days they are often linked via computer to the bus and the depot and display the waiting time in minutes.
Argh, it's the Eastoke Seagulls!
Some grockels have just thrown some chips up in the air. Then, when they've been pecked it'll no doubt be a phone call to The News Link
Another station not open!
