We walked down to the sea front and then up to the top of the East Hill to watch the sunset. This is pleasant enough — despite the cold weather in August — and makes us pleased to be living here but then we unexpectedly experience two things.
After strolling through some of the narrow streets of Elizabethan, Georgian and Victorian homes, we come across a lady throwing white bread into some bushes on the side of a hill. And then we notice a badger! And we stand there open mouthed watching Mr. Badger eating. And the lady says, “There’s usually some foxes.” And sure enough. We see two foxes. Magical.
We continue on our way toward All Saints Church and stand outside listening to a concert of live organ music that’s part of the carnival. The organist played continuously that was a medley of extracts from the classical and contemporary repertoire. Magical, too.
So, we make our way back to the Jenny Lind for a night cap. And sure enough the open air auction is still going strong more than two hours later!
