I slept in late this morning, and awoke to a beautiful fall day in Brighton. The sun in shining, the wind is calm... Alas, the peace as shattered, as is has been every day for the last few weeks, by the sound of heavy machinery, saws, hammers, drills, you name it. Our neighbours are doing a massive renovation and the City is putting in new water lines. Last week it was sandblasting and cutting through pavement. The white wall is ours. The wall next to it used to look like ours. You can imagine how much work it was to strip it back down to the flint. I'm told that vegetation into the house - I guess that would be a problem. As for the roadwork, I have to say that the city crew was amazingly efficient. I was a little concerned when we got the letter from the Council that estimated 8 - 16 weeks of work. They were done in just over a week. I just took the photo from our top floor looking west down Victoria Road. You can see St. Michael's in the background. The church was built in the 1850s and boasts some of the finest stain glass in Sussex. I've gone in a couple of times and peeked in and it is incredible. Jay & I meant to go in last weekend for an organ recital, but Paul Kelly & his dad, Harry, were in town, so we met them for lunch instead.
