Nice new ...

... shower all installed and working. Won't know ourselves again now! Got to find something to cover a couple of screw holes that are now showing and, as bathroom is fully tiled I don't like seeing the holes in the tiles. Think it would look better with mirror screws - can't think of what else to use. Luckily they're high up and above the new shower box but I know they're there - lol!!

We've been having some beautiful sunny, but very cold, days just lately. Went out just before 11am on Thursday and found my car still covered in frost but it was soooooooooo pretty I had to go take some photos of the patterns it had made. They didn't all come out too well but reckon these give some idea.








As it was such a nice day I decided to stop on my way to visit Dad. Just 5 minutes away from my home is Brighton Racecourse and a small car park at the start of the course. This area overlooks the village I live in (technically a suburb of Brighton) and, towards the sea, Rottingdean, Ovingdean, Brighton and as far afield as Shoreham and the subsequent coastline to Worthing. From this spot and a little way on towards Brighton, if it is really clear, the Isle of Wight can be seen. Anyway, the sun was really bright and I thought I'd take a series of shots to put into some panoramic software (when I eventually get my own laptop back - repaired or otherwise ...) One of the photos was looking towards the sea over the top of Roedean School. The sun was reflecting so strongly off of the sea that it put the school more-or-less into silhouette. I think this is a lovely photo. Quite dramatic - even if I do say so myself - LOL!

Today it's been so sunny and springlike (although still cold) that we had the patio door open for a while and enjoyed our newest residents - a pond full of fish that we've acquired. They belong to our eldest and, as he is living back with us for the forseeable future and their house has now been sold, the fish have had to move in as well! Big changes being made but sometimes it has to be done .....

Thanks for dropping by .....

Absolutely stunning photo Pam. As you say really dramatic. Love the bluey Jack Frost pic too. Make a lovely background x
