What Have You Been Up Too On This Lovely Day?

[yogi-bear]

After such a beautiful weekend of sun and warm weather, Brighton was a lovely place to be today, after work this morning popped in, as I was here meeting Mrs B for a spot of Tiffin, in the brilliant sunshine this afternoon, all the beach side pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars with benches right near the beach packed, loads of tourists here too, especially on the Pier, having donuts, crepes, ice cream, and fresh fish and chips, and we had our favourite sweet afterwards.....A Belgian waffle with hot caramel sauce and coconut shavings, which is just divine, lots of tourists too, and schoolchildren sitting on the grass in the park area around The Royal Pavilion......Summer is definitely​ coming....Really lovely atmosphere today....Everyone mainly had smiles on their faces.....But.....Guess what?....Yep......

The British Airways i360 got stuck again near the top at the weekend and is not open until at least tomorrow...so no tourists there then...apart from disappointed ones who found it closed for the day....Spoke to a lovely elderly couple down for a short break from York who wanted to go on it today, and are hoping it'll be fixed for tomorrow morning, as they go back in the afternoon.... They gave us a big hug and said it was nice to find such friendly people to talk too....they were really sweet. :-)

I love being by the sea....should have moved down here years ago.


What have you been doing on this wonderful day?

Had a phone call from our SIL Last night to say my wifes Brother had a heart attack, we were about to go and see him at 1 pm today then had a phone call from him to say he was going down to get this stent done, ended up going to Materlan, it's been a cracking day all.

Sounds nice yogi! Let's hope we have some more days of sunshine before official Summer arrives. Me, working till 10.45am, then picked my granddaughter up from the in-laws. We've spent all day in the garden playing with a beach ball, hopscotch and various toys, she's just been picked up, happy and tired, shell probably flake on the way home ;0)

[TWR]

Used to stop at Hove Emmie, not far off the Nudist beach.

[Eleena]

Murray, do you have some music to listen to while you run? Walking or running helps you to focus thoughts x

[emmie]

TWR used to go the other direction, down to the marina, near to and on the nudist beach, lovely apart from the gawpers.

[Eleena]

I am changing the car on Tuesday, and I didn't want to part-ex it with half a tank of fuel, so I went for nice long drive, up into the surrounding hills. I came across this place ::::

It was beautiful up there...warm enough for only a thin jacket. The graveyard associated with this very isolated chapel had loads of daffs in bloom, and the whole effect was very spring-like. What a beautiful place, with views all around.

I think I am very lucky to have this kind of scenery so close !

[Eleena]

I weeded a border in the back Baldric, with my little helper, even though she did say ... yeuk!

[TWR]

Thank you for your thoughts, there was a pub right on the main road near the Marina, that's where we used to park up.

Beautiful Mikey!
