Same bench, different people, different year. I find myself taking the the same photograph year after year, more and and more often. And the more I do it the more I like the idea of monitoring the way things and scenes, wear and modify, fade and evolve. The restaurant where we sit in St Leonards-on-Sea, looks across at several benches, which provide such benchmarks. More bench photographs will follow. Watch this space.
Outside a pub a man with a thin ferret face fixes his eyes in his laptop screen as though it frames a living prey upon which he will shortly pounce.
In The Grove a pair of magpies hop about under the trees collecting in their beaks twigs for their nest.

Lovely composition in that photo.
I'll never get tired of these kind of scenes. St Leonards-on-Sea seems to be a favourite place of yours, a nice retreat not far from home, I would think.
I suppose the ferret-faced man's expression may be predictive. When our broad-band subscription runs out in future, our ISP may not be satisfied with a mere warning but may have the means to unleash something punitive from the laptop's screen. By then it will be a legal obligation to be online and those who briefly fail will be identifiable by a capital M (for medieval) branded on their forehead.
