We used to live in Brighton, and it is a place we just love to return to as it holds so many happy memories. I booked us a couple of nights there recently, and we were so lucky with the weather, enjoying the sunshine on the beach and warm evenings perfect for sitting outside with a few drinks. Of course I also insisted on a quick go on the 2p machines on the pier - it has to be done!
Once you learn to sleep through the sound of Brighton seagulls, you can sleep through anything. I have such a love/hate (or maybe, affection/fear) relationship with them!
Old favourites like fro-yo for breakfast from Lick in the North Laines, a stop-off at Dave's Comics, and admiring the Pavillion were a must. I always loved the Pavillion, especially when we got engaged right in front of it one cold December night.
There's always something new to discover in Brighton, and we tried out some great places. Meat Liquor was too dark to photograph, but I did try to capture some of the flamboyant fun at La Choza. It was packed when we stopped off for lunch, so it was hard to take as many photos as I would have liked (there are so many fun trinkets and accessories in there, I was itching to get snap happy!), but I really loved the colourful Mexican-themed decor. Think sparkly skulls and garishly bright pictures of Mary in every corner, coupled with seriously delicious (and reasonably priced) burritos, tacos and quesadillas.
We had such a great couple of days, wandering around, popping into quirky little shops and catching up with old friends, that we almost forgot that we don't really live there any more. Every time I go back to Brighton, I just want to stay forever, and one day maybe we will.
Great pics hun! Might have to find the fro yo place next time I am in town - looks awesome! xx lollyhugz.blogspot.co.uk

It's lovely! Last time I went they had coconut yoghurt as their flavour of the day, and I am still thinking about it months later, it was so good! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! You must pop down some time - it is so worth the journey, as there's nowhere quite like it, it just has so much personality! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you <3 It's such a great place, because you can have so much fun as a family with the pier and stuff, but then it's got so much to offer when you get a bit older too, with the shopping and nightlife. Basically it's perfect for anyone! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was so delicious, we will definitely return for a burrito next time we visit Brighton! xx
