Last week's weather was beautiful. I left the house to go gawp at the sunset for a bit and locked myself out with no shoes, keys or phone. That was fun. I really should go on a bike ride at some point, the scenery where I live (Brighton) is beautiful.

Shame about the moor being redeveloped, I suppose when the value of housing becomes greater than the value of agriculture in this country it's only a matter of time until this happens. Market forces, et cetera. I'm all for more national parks, myself. I suppose this is pretty near the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales so it's not too bad. It's also worth bearing in mind that this landscape has already been drastically altered by man - if not for farming, this would all be forest.
