Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

...in fact I love to be beside the seaside! Went down to Brighton to catch up with Miss L, as well as check out the Lanes (shopping!), and make the usual stroll along the seafront... though this time forgot the hot chips and ice cream! Probably due to the overwhelming numbers of people there!
Always amazing how in the summer Brighton is a packed out town, usually hard to find a table at the pub (this time we were very lucky, though I think that's due to that fact that either side was boxed in by little humans in prams!), and nigh on impossible to find a park that wont get you ticketed - about 15 minutes driving round and discussing the best spot.
Ever since the first time I went to Brighton I've loved the place. I even like walking along the pier, looking at all the dodgy rides, tourist crap and occasionally buying some Brighton rock (wondering on earth why when I find it in a draw seven months later still looking as fresh the day I bought it!). The wide diversity of people there is incredible and I can people watch for hours.. even more so when something like the streets of Brighton is being held and the Lanes are filled with men dressed as angels on roller blades, women dressed as birds doing acrobatics on suspended hoops and all sorts of different bands playing.
Though I would have to say I love Brighton even more in the winter, cold, wet, windy, munching on hot chips, wondering along the seafront and hardly another soul in sight! Pure Bliss!!
