I really cannot understand why everyone in Sussex rams themselves onto Brighton Beach or Camber Sands, when Climping is practically deserted.

I don't care if it's faintly ridiculous or sneered at, I think morris dancing is great. It never fails to make me smile. These photos were taken at Taken at Sidmouth Folk Week. The first is Chinewrde Morris from my home town of Kenilworth.

Looking West along Eype Beach in Dorset.

Eype from the Old English 'gēap' meaning 'steep place'.

Budleigh Salterton v Ivybridge Town.

Ivybridge won, 0-3 I think, the Otter Ale was very good.

The name Alfriston is possibly derived from "Ælle fyrst tun" (the first town of Ælle).

We went to Cuckmere Haven on Sunday and I happened to take a photo of Crumpet just as she was barking at me to throw her ball into the sea. I think you'll agree that she looks pretty ferocious.

Starfish in the Park sounds like the kind of event that George Michael might attend, but it's actually good clean family fun.

You can just make out the top of Lewes Castle above the trees.

Some poor bugger did a great job decorating his car with a very professional looking England paint-job, only for the England team to replay his faith with abject failure.

So now he's backing Ghana.

Me to as it happens. Well, Ghana and Germany.

There's nothing quite so English as a village fete. Cupcake anyone?

Followed by a visit to a 600 year-old country pub for refreshments ale.
