After the drama of yesterday's post about the burning of St James church in Brighton and the confusion of feelings about it, now that the police suspect arson, and we know of the church's notoriety, I am going to take a while to try and process that complex situation, but with a streaming headcold, today is not the day. And so a simple one-picture post today: the front of a house in Carlton, with its smooth safe steps for walking up to the front door, and the rough hewn blocks on the side, that are also helping to terrace the garden on this hill (there is only really one hill in Carlton).
Smooth bluestone today, then, after the torrid fire of yesterday.

I am always in 2 very different minds when I see bluestone reused like this.
It depresses me when I think of the destruction of the original structure, that these blocks were laboriously crafted for.
I guess.... And here the rough ones seem to overshadow the smooth ones. But at least they're being re-used and not smashed up to fill up the spaces between the railway lines!
