West Pier, Brighton. 10am. 19°C sunny, light breeze. High tide.Wednesday morning has become an almost regular slot of time to myself.

West Pier, Brighton. 10.35am. 15°C, warm sun, light breeze. High tide.Hello September. Here you are with your bittersweet promises of new beginnings and blank pages.

So, no beach journals this month.But I did have a peaceful stop in nearby Rottingdean where I met with an old friend.
