Well what a weekend. Jayden and I went to Brighton on the bus early sat morn. Arrived around 11am and was able to check into our hotel then and there as no one had stayed the previous night. We went off to see the major tourist attraction- The Pavillion. It is a castle that was built by King George in the 1800's. This guy was known for his partying, women, food, drink and general extravagance so the palace was amazing. Very showy and way ahead of its time. It's nicknamed 'the pleasure palace'. Did a tour there and then walked around the town. Very lovely, the north end is very hippy and bohemian and the south classy and cultured. A nice afternoon browsing shops and just wandering. We spotted a sign for 3 pound cocktails during the day and made our way there for pre dinner drinks. They were beautiful, and lots of fun. Once we both had 3 cocktails under our belt off we went for japanesse and then a 'walkabout' (an aussie pub franchise) for snakebites and fosters.
Sunday we went to the brighton pier. A permanant carnival on the pier. The beatles apparently wrote a song about it. Then strolled along the beach (with stones not sand) and just chilled. went to go pick up our bags and back on the bus to london. whilst we were waiting it started snowing.
once back in London sunday night it really started snowing and starting to pile up on the ground. I awoke mon morn to a message saying all train and bus lines were down and school was closed! yay! So a snow day it was. we walked around in the snow, watched kids (and adults) throw snowballs and make snowmen. Lots of fun. We even had a play in our front yard. Have a look at the photos attached as it was so pretty. The heaviest snow london has had in 25 yrs. hopefully the trains are up and running tom. As nice as it was to have a snow day i do need to return to work and earn some cash.
P.s- Jayden got a job too which is fantastic. a bit of a hike but doing I.t and good money. And he was just about to look at waitering jobs...so close.
