I spent the weekend visiting one of my relatives in Eastbourne and on the Saturday went for a walk along the White Cliffs surrounding Beachy Head. It was a very brisk walk as there was a fairly cold wind blowing off the sea, but it did not spoil the walk.
I was struck by a number of bunches of flowers that had been tied to the some of the wire fences that run along various parts of the cliff paths. What a sad sight they made, indicating that someone had been driven to a decision that in some cases had ended a life. It was all the more ironic that I was walking along this path on the anniversary of Armistice Day, when so many other deaths were being remembered for very different reasons.
I took this picture, not out of some morbid curiosity, but more to wonder at what could have driven this person to come to such a final decision, it was really very sad to see.
