The goats have taken to climbing among the tree branches and balance there with a sort of caprine insouciance.

A great shelf of cloud stretching right across from south west to north east so that the sky is divided sharply in two with clear blue sky on one side and thick cloud to the other.

At the appointed hour the sun bursts up and onto its day’s splendid course.

The sun rises into a clear blue sky tufted with little white clouds at the edges.

any sign of spring has melted away except for the very first daffodil in the shelter of the pines on the Barrow earthworks.

gulls are determined to carry on with their plans for the future and try to establish their bona fides with members of the opposite sex.

The birds are too busy to entertain us this morning and the sycamore tree is resolutely maintaining it is still winter.

It is impossible to be out without being fascintated by the vast cloudscape.

The birds are all busy with their spring preparations.

Daffodills are nearly ready to burst out.

The air is filled with the sounds of finches, robins and blackbirds. Spring seems to be on the way

On the green a father has managed to get two kites in the air and is giving the strings to his small children to hold. Child looks nonplussed. It is an age old Saturday morning ritual.

The bay is polished to a shiny pewter by the sun appearing from behind the lumpy grey clouds.

Tiny spatters of drizzle between the rain storms. The sea rolls in with some purpose.

As the sun gets going, its rays pick out a motor scooter apparently dozing after a hard night out among the trees.

A heavy mist has settled over the green. Not a swirling fog but a still, silent veil cloaking the distant views and softening the outlines of the trees.

The sun occasionally making a dart of light onto the ruffled sea.

Trees are designed to grow symetrically and a few on the West Cliff manage to achieve that but most are bent on the continual wind from the bay or lose branches during gales so they grow up as distinct individuals.

Gloomy and cloudy but somehow springlike.

Today’s excitement comes from the new Eco-Hub opening on the beach at the foot of the cliff.
