  1. 📚 I just finished By the Sea - a novel by Nobel Prize winning author Abdulrazak Gurnah, first published in 2001. It is the Zanzibar born writer's sixth novel and was longlisted for the Booker Prize.

    By the Sea is a complex tale narrated by two men who have immigrated to Britain. As they reveal their individual stories the reader sees how their lives have been deeply and tragically connected. Not an easy read , but for me well worth the effort. 📚

  2. I think this is Dwarf Gorse. Not completely certain, but it's quite short relative to the heather and #RSPB #Arne is in a part of the country it's known to grow. #ByTheSea #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

  3. Hotel Bythesea, Trowbridge.
    A bit strange, since Trowbridge is a good 30 miles from the nearest briny.
    The Hotel takes its name from Bythesea Road, on which it stands. The road takes its name from Henry Bythesea, who built a housing development here, at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
    Since I first visited, some 30-odd years ago, the building has been renamed; Bythesea Lodge.
