Teasel-tastic Newhaven!

I don't think I've ever seen so many teasels in one place before.

We walked along the clifftop above Newhaven today and came across a field of teasels. They were all over the place! (What are they before they turn into teasels?)

In the town it was good to see a boat - Victress - being unloaded. I have no idea what the fine black cargo was.

Coming in to the port was Coastrunner, here flanked by a seagull.

Earlier in the day we'd walked along the River Ouse from Piddinghoe. On the outskirts of Newhaven, by the river, is this interesting building. It's the Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility, otherwise known as a waste incinerator.

Not quite so much walking done today: just over six miles. Eleven yesterday; four the day before; and nine on Monday. And no rain on any of our walks! It was certainly cooler today, though, with a strong wind on the ridge route we took from Newhaven back to Piddinghoe where we'd parked the car.
