It seems the April showers came early, but that hasn’t stopped our team from making progress with the terrace units for the promenade around Southsea Castle. They've been using a vacuum lifter which is a machine that sucks up the units to put them in place! Fun fact of the day – each of the units for the terrace weighs between 4-7.5 tonnes! That is one strong vacuum!

We thought you might like to see the ‘Theatre of The Sea’ from a different angle so here's what you'll see from the new promenade, looking out to the Solent.

Despite the clouds, the view across to the Isle of Wight is spectacular and reminds us how lucky we are to live in this city. Personally, we can’t wait for a summer's day in the future when we can sit here with an ice cream.

The cormorants are definitely enjoying frontage one being fully open. Chris the cormorant was spotted this week having a bath and fishing in Long Curtain Moat.
