Brighton

For our first excursion outside London we chose Brighton, the vibrant seaside city on England's south coast facing the English Channel.

North Laine area.  Lots of quirky shops here.

  1. postcard perfection. I loved the duck house and weather looked nice with the people with shorts on. Pizza looked appetizing and did you try the fish and chips with the mushy peas (that is up my alley). Glad England is doing okay as we are heading for another lock down....people not wearing their masks and young people partying. You and Eddie are making memories for years to come.
