Brighton is a Seaside town!

Here we are again, back after the trials of a trip to the seaside! It is true you know the days of a Sea side break are numbered not in years but months! Its not surprising the Political parties are moving away from their traditional conference venues, what a dump Brighton has become, from a once lively resort near London to a stop on the School trip meter and then only a brief one to make notes of the Volks railway which seem defunct, certainly not for the Coach parking facility so far along the beach you had to have a Taxi to reach civilisation, and when parked there you have take care of the numerous FUN bikers on their Suzukis and Hondas and Kawakars all trying to fall off the back of their machines whilst trying to reach unobtainable speeds and polluting the ears with the racket - pity the poor people who live in the expensive high rise over looking the beach at that point! The hotel I had the pleasure of stopping in was right in the middle luckily not afflicted by the Gas leak from one of the neighbouring hotels Thursday night, it looked Friday morning as if all the Fire officers were in for breakies after the crews had stood down!

Mind you at lest the weather relented and for the last three days a mysterious object was observed in the heavens and bright light shone down bringing warmth on the tourists - it almost made the burnt out pier attractive - but it wasnt enough to bring the naturalists out on the nudie beach only a small point to raise I suppose but it wasnt that warm ......ho ho!

Well next week we shall be in the Emerald Isle so I hope the wee folk will smile on us and give an Indian summer or maybe that is reserved for Luton? Lets hope the Guiness is cool.. talking of cool have you see my mentors new web site? Super read Sue and I hope you get the message out - so look at The Fragile X Association of Australia an excellent read and give them your support!

I wish I was that clever but thats toooo much to ask for, but she did encourage me to blog - and yes I know we want more photos to liven it up - but I have to take them and I forgot the Camera

Senior moments! now what was I doing here? ..........

Thanks so much for the plug for the Fragile X site. An interesting view you give of Brighton - watching shows like Location, Location made me thing Brighton was an expensive classy place to live - it probably is expensive.

No wonder someone we know moved from Brighton to live in a beach side suburb of Melbourne, which is both expensive (in our housing cost terms) and classy.
