Lets see if Blogger is playing ball tonight?
As promised, a few pics from our weekend in Brighton.
When we arrived on Friday, the plan was to park on the seafront and walk down to the Marina for a late lunch - it didn't happen. The wind was wild and the rain torrential. Instead we nipped into town to get a few bits & bobs and then ran back to the car and drove off to lunch. The marina was deserted, hardly a surprise - the sea was coming over the harbour wall and outside was not the place to be!!
Saturday was much kinder - the weather was lovely. We decided to head out for a walk after breakfast. Weren't really sure where we were heading but set off vaguely towards Beachy Head. Infact we stopped @ Seven Sisters Country Park. We walked along the river and then up to the top of the cliffs - the views were brilliant;
Back into Brighton we headed - as we came past the Marine Drive we spotted something very interesting happening below - Brighton Breeze, over 1000 VW campers & Beetles;
Then onwards into town - can't be in the same town as a CK shop without visiting ;). There was something I'd had my eye on and there was one left in stock :)
One other little treat from the weekend - a new charm for my bracelet;
(a ball of yarn with knitting needles - how perfect).
Yep, blogger is still playing up - at least tonight it let me load the photos even if it was incredibly slow.
Florrie and Serenata, your giveaway parcels will be on there way to you tomorrow :)
Oh the postie came today but I'll show you that next time ;)

#Would love to go to Brighton one-day. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.
What IS going on with blogger? Have had problems with posting comments all evening!
Glad you had a lovely time in Brighton.The Seven Sisters CP is one of our favourite places to walk. ;O)
lovely campervans - wish I had been there ... every time you visit Brighton there is something different to see. xxx
I've never been to Brighton - would love to visit one day. That CK pin is so great - my mum had an old Singer machine almost that shape - black and gold it was with a lovely smooth wheel at the side that you could turn by hand as well as using the pedal, and I used it when I was learning to sew at 11! xx
I love visiting Brighton though have not been for a while. Your pics are lovely - especially the VWs in the Brighton Breeze line up, so thank you!
Well it looks like blogger behaved itself ;-) The photos are wonderful and it looks like you had a really lovely time. I especially love the VW's. One day I WILL have a blue VW ;-)

Glad you were able to post your pics......I love the seaside when it's blowing a gale........how strange am I? Love the trinkets you found, especially the little charm one.
