Up at nine after our made first two days...we had promised the girls a more relaxing day. We had decided that we need a bit of seaside in our tour, so we popped to Brighton for the day. A long train journey passing so many of my old haunts brought back many memories, not many of them good. It does give you perspective though. We arrived at lunchtime, and found an "All you can eat" buffet place. I dislike places like this, but i was quick, cheap and convenient, so we were grateful...it wasn't too bad. Then the girls wanted to hit the shops. Eldest went with Mrs Plug, and youngest and I did a little shopping but headed for the beach. It was a very windy day, but the sun came out a fair bit, and we had a bracing time watching the surfers and skimming stones. We found a second hand book shop and made a couple of purchases, met up with the others, who seem to have been successful in their shopping, and then found a bistro type place for dinner, which was pleasant, but still left me craving Paris :-) A long journey home, but a pleasant way to spend our second leg. Tomorrow we start the day with Eldest's GCSE results, and then another fun packed day.....
