The weather didn’t help (nor did the nagging headache from sleeping in a too-warm bedroom). I’d expected more from my earlier fleeting visit to Brighton but we set off home earlier than planned, none of us particulalry impressed.
I would highly recommend the Brighton museum and library though if you’re here. They have a great cafe here as well as really interesting exhibitions.
So, a quick canter on the shale beach, fish and chips on the shoreside, a walk around the pier. Then walking back towards the Royal Pavilion, looking more movie set than 18th century royal palace.
A nice cold drink and a warm pancake round things off nicely.
Oh, and I was able to get a portable hard drive near the station on the way back so that’s a relief!
Now speeding through the countryside (well, ish) back to Victoria.

Getting ready for our last trip further afield today with a train journey to Brighton.
I’ve been once before, for a business meeting, and wanted to come again with a little more time to look around.
Looking at the weather forecast it looks like we will be in the best place too.
Look out for seascapes, shots of the pier, the royal pavilion and other Prinny-related things, and the odd candid portrait if I get chance!
Oh, plus chips, ice cream etc. Well you have to at the seaside, don’t you :0)
