Long time no blog. We have just been a tad busy.
We recently had a walk around the famous man (click on the picture for a bigger image). Apparently for many years he was marked out in the form of depressed lines so that he was only visible when sidelit or it had been snowing.
And then tourism person or similar thought - Aaaah! - and had his outline made in bricks and painted white. Job done, ancient legacy violated but lots of visitors can come to see him all year round. But wait a minute, where are his masculine credentials?? And isn't he holding the sticks in a rather twee fashion?
Nevertheless it is a very pleasant walk on the South Downs and along the Cuckmere River.
