Nice to see the sun make an appearance after a couple of grey, drizzly days.

It's certainly feeling more spring like today.

We couldn't let #BritishPieWeek pass without a mention of The Hungry Monk in Jevington, birthplace of the Banoffee (or should that be, Banoffi) Pie, could we?

Grazing cattle doing their thing.

Over the year, we rotate where the cattle and ponies graze.

Chewing longer grasses helps to create the conditions required for chalk grassland flowers to flourish in the spring and summer.

The songster of the Downs, the skylark.

Vaughan Williams', 'The Lark Ascending', imitates the sound of the skylark as it embarks on a journey across the English countryside.

Recent rain and wind has caused the cliff tops between #Newhaven and #Peacehaven to be unstable and more likely to collapse.

Without warning, large chunks of cliff can fall hundreds of feet to the ground below.

If you visit the coast, #BeCliffAware #BeTideAware

[Upper Lodge @upperlodge]

@KeithAPettit Totally agree

[Upper Lodge @upperlodge]

Always humbling! The streets were a mess by midnight on the 5th

[Lewes District Council @LewesDC]

Our Environment First Team battled through horrendous weather conditions during the early hours of Sunday morning to collect seven tonnes of rubbish left behind by 30,000 bonfire night revellers in #Lewes.

Ferocious.

That's the only way to describe the recent weather.

If you are heading out to the coast, please always check tide times and alert someone to where you will be.

Don't get caught out.

You will not get your second flowering and you will only deprive yourself of the crop of long bottle-shaped scarlet hips of the autumn. Preserve them at all costs, these sealing-wax fruits will hang brighter than the berries of the holly.
