  Well that's another piece of White Cliff that Charlie hasn't managed to save!
  For all that his new house would be somewhere in the vicinity, and his London-famed doggy wandering around the area.

  That looks like a small full moon, though.

  not that far away from us, so important not to go too close to cliff edges.

  Yes the ground is very fragile at the moment and its very important not to go close to the edge. Despite all the warnings though some do. March is always the worst time following the winter rains, and we have had bucketfulls this year.
  
  This picture below was taken two years ago...almost to the day. Just after the big collapse here...look at the guy on the edge
