This shot was taken roughly six months ago on a trip back to my hometown of Brighton. For a December day, it was unseasonably warm, with a gorgeous sky and calm sea.

Many, many thanks for putting "My Cherry Amour" into this week's Top 20. I'm pretty chuffed, and owe it all to the amazing group of followers I currently have who believe in me - and give me support, even when i find it hard to believe in myself!

Much love to you all - especially those that continually offer support and encouragement day after day. Hopefully, you know who you are :)

I'll be catching up with your shots and commenting on them in the next couple of days.
