It definitely makes up for all of the freezing cold, heavy Rain and Snowfall of last year.

it's ok really, just adding a bit of balance. not being hobophobic! boom!




So, that's Brighton? - I've always rather fancied going there ;o>
It's in the mid-twenties here, starting to get a bit cloudy and there is a strengthening breeze. Doors and windows open and fans on in several rooms trying to cool things down - this house really holds the heat!

A colleague of mine once went to the Edinburgh festival, where one of the fringe street events was something called "The Brighton Beach Experience". They sat you in a deckchair with your feet in a bucket of pebbles and then sprinkled water over you from a watering can.
I've had a role for the past three years that has required me to go to brighton 3-4 times a year, usually in the middle of the summer. It has nearly always been windy and has often been cold. And walking on that pebbly beach is surprisingly difficult. That said, Brighton & Hove is a wonderfully lively & interesting city and I've really enjoyed my visits. It's one of those places (like Shrewsbury or Chester) where you don't just see all the usual chains dominating the streets of shops & restaurants. Just before I went to the beach to take those pictures I had a meeting in Hove, which is nicely bohemian without being excessively hipsterish. In fact, my meeting was in offices above a beautiful independent theatre, and I'd killed half an hour on arriving early having coffee in a nice artisan place with very reasonable prices.

You've heard the football managers imploring their players "not to leave anything on the pitch" - so my advice to you is not to leave anything on the table, in the sweet tin or bottle during the festive season!
