Which meant a long walk into town today.<\/p>\n<p>I was heading for Hove (actually) and set off at around 7.45 on foot. By 8.00 I&#39;d reached the main road where buses were running, though not as frequently as I might have wished.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/busstop_2012100596.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>So I walked on. In fact several buses did pass me, but the air was still and I had plenty of time. And I wanted to see one of my favourite views to the sea.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/snow_2012100599.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>I was enjoying the fresh air (I was well wrapped up against the elements) and by this time I was nearing the racecourse. I tramped along the race track (the nearest thing to level ground up here)<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/snow_2012100615.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Which is where the kestrels hang.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/kestrel_2012100609.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Given the distance, and not especially good light, I switched to video. That&#39;s mainly the sea in the background, by the way.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"505\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E0MTYUbyBvM?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"never\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/E0MTYUbyBvM?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"640\" height=\"505\" allowscriptaccess=\"never\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>I eventually made it into Brighton, just after 9.00. This is St Peter&#39;s Church, a grand looking fake built in Victorian times and sited slap in what is normally the middle of one of the busiest junctions in the city. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/st_peters_2012100631.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>I may well have to walk tomorrow, but only as far as the bus. The thaw is coming, but it&#39;s slow.
