(And a clichéd car shot!)

The rest is just nice sunlight. Actually, the mobile phone camera failed to really get it, but the sunlight was gloriously golden, so here you go: a lost moment of January light. It's more here to document the fact that going back to Brighton for the day, and kinda forgetting to leave for the weekend, is brilliant. And I feel refreshed. And 2008 just may actually be a new year.

I couldn't get a photo of this with which I was really happy, so I'll distract you with words instead. This is in the grounds of Blair Castle, a particularly good country estate, where the Duke is unique in the whole of Europe in being able to legally maintain a private army. Nowadays it's purely ceremonial, but as recently as the Second World War, the Atholl Highlanders served with the British Army.

The Royal Garrison Church of St. George, Grand Depot Road, Woolwich. What a great set of names to conjour with! This ruin was destroyed by a V1 flying bomb during the second world war, but it remains consecrated and is used for memorial services. Driving past it, it looks absolutely stunning — I genuinely thought it might be a shored-up Roman ruin. The main wall behind the altar has an elaborate mosaic of a cavalry rider-cum-St. George which really could come from just about any classical era.

There are a few shots of this spire, because it's fabulous, but also because I couldn't quite decide the best photographic treatment to attempt.

If you could look both ways you really could see the entire country from here. Odd, huh?
