Hello dolly!
Porcelain dolls were used in the 1920’s to help train nurses in the treatment of tuberculosis at the Royal Seabathing Hospital, Margate.
Nowadays they are used to give you nightmares in the Margate museum.
Kent meets Nevada
The flamingo. Las Vegas, or Margate?

Sunbathing with coats on, Brighton beach.
Happy St Patrick’s Day
Plenty of us Brits coveting one of these right now!
Across the tracks
A damp day in Brighton’s North Laine.
Snow at last!
Grabbed a few minutes for a quick sketch of the snow this morning. More ‘chiffon scarf’ than a ‘blanket’ covering, but a good try for Brighton. All gone by the end of the day though.
Calm before the storm
Beautiful blue skies in Brighton and Hove this morning. Hoping for snow tonight!
Outsiders
I am standing in church, singing along to a Taylor Swift song which I’ve never heard before. It’s OK though, because the karaoke style lyrics are on the big screen and a choir is leading us through it.
This was my first time at the Sunday Assembly Brighton, a monthly secular church on the border of Brighton and Hove.
The church is packed. This month the theme is ‘outsiders’.
One of the speakers, David, told a moving story about his experience as a volunteer host for the charity Sussex Nightstop. Afterwards we sang Teenage dirtbag.
The atmosphere was great and by the time we were singing starman I was really quite into it. Only in Brighton & Hove!
Entitled of Brighton
My day started with commuters at the Flying Coffee Bean, Brighton station.
Followed by a pilgrimage to Waterstones specifically to sniff books, drink coffee and sketch out of that window.
Can you believe someone had already nicked the table. What’s more, he was ‘reading’* of all thing. Outrageous!
*I very much approve of reading, just not in my seat.
