A day in Brighton

We got up reasonably early and Alex fixed us a big fry-up. We started with Cornflakes with hazel nuts and strawberries and blueberries. Alex had toast, black pudding, sausages, bacon, an egg and mushrooms, Roy had all that minus the black pudding, I only had toast, mushrooms and an egg, Meaghan had bacon as well, I think. We finally caught the bus at about 10.30am and it was really convenient way to get into Brighton.  Cheaper than the train, plus a lot less walking as the bus stop was 200 yards from the house as well as it took us all the way to the seafront.

We first went to see the Pier. You don't have to pay to enter any more, but the rides and slot machines, games etc. cost a fair amount.  Still, one does not do this that often, so we treated Callum to a lot of fun. He had an arm band for limitless rides and also got some presents, as well as winning the Dolphin Derby with his dad.

The weather was up and down, lovely and sunny one minute, chucking it down the next.  Afterwards Roy and I went to the Bank, which is another story, that is so annoying I intend to forget about it, while the rest of them went onto the beach and walked through the Lanes.

We all met up at the Basketmakers, had lots of lovely food (hamburgers, seafood etc.) and caught the bus home.

I hurt my right little toe yesterday and had some concerns whether I would be able to walk too much today, but I managed it with not too much pain, so that was OK. Callum dropped off en route home on the bus, but was alive again once his cousins were there to play with.

Tomorrow we are off to Cornwall, let's hope the weather is kind!
