This is one of my favourite buildings that I came across in #montpellier🇫🇷 I often find I really like buildings that other people think are hideous, so I could live here 🏡

This is the small lane where all the stars of Instagram go to pose.
It’s quiet here at the moment (people don’t travel Europe in winter it seems) so quite easy to find a space. ☀️

I’m in #Montpellier in the south west of France.
Montpellier is a fair sized university city; there’s plenty of street art and architecture to look at. Lots of cafes and a labyrinth of streets in the old town to wander along and get lost.
To start here’s a blue winter sky and a great #reflection in the water. 🌞

Trip de jour was to #rye in #eastsussex
I’ve been trying to take time off when the sun comes out and use the rainy days to write and catch up with things; it seems to work better for me.
So today the sun came out and I took a trip along the coast to an old English town with cobbled streets and a small gathering of antique shops. ☀️

Out enjoying #devilsdyke near #brighton UK.
The place got its name from local folklore saying the devil was digging a trench to flood all the nearby churches, but disturbed by an old woman he left the trench unfinished, flinging mud into the sea to make the Isle of Wight.
In Victorian times it was the site of a funfair with merry go rounds and bandstands and a funicular and train line. There’s no longer a train line; now if you want to get there on public transport your only option is bus 77, which only runs weekends.
Lots of walks there, people enjoying the fresh air and such but the funfair long since gone. ☀️
😊

One of those nights when nature provides its own Instagram filter.
I’ve been manacled to my computer all week desperately trying to get on top of everything, so it felt good to get out today, even if it was just for a walk along the beach. 🏖
