12 September 2010 St. Martha on the Hill

Sep 12, 2010

There are days (like yesterday) when I barely remember to take a photo. Then there are days like today when I take a ton of photos and then hesitate over which one to post as the photo of the day. I chose this one because it was one of my favorite moments: after a steep climb up a footpath in the Surrey Hills outside …

Sep 9, 2010

4 September 2010 Beachy Head

Sep 4, 2010

I love cliffs. Today we rode the bus to East Dean and then walked a little over 3.5 miles to Beachy Head via Birling Gap, just east of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. The walk is undulating: steep climbs lead to steep running descents. The final ascent brought us to Beachy Head, where AC snapped this photo.

Cerys and Sam bury Seth in the sand, much to his delight, though he kept sitting up to see and destroying all their efforts.
