Summer is well and truly out in force this week and I chose a great time to have a few days off work to enjoy it, and even more so that I spent it by the sea in
Arriving on Thursday afternoon, we checked in at our not-so-first-class Travel Lodge before venturing down to the Pier to check out the sights. Although it was a little overcast, it didn’t stop us having fun. A ride on the merry-go-round and six jugs of Pimms later, we all indulged in some much needed traditional fish and chips which was delicious!
Friday was the ceremony and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The sun was shining and the crowds appeared in their masses to soak up the sun on the beach. My housemate and I booked in at a local hair salon called Antonio Delgado where we both had our hair curled and pinned up. I only planned to have it curled but wasn’t at all disappointed with what they did and the owner had us in fits of laughter the whole time we were there – definitely a place to recommend!
The ceremony took place at Brighton Town Hall
We then spent a very relaxing (and not so raucous) Saturday
chilling on the beach and enjoying another walk along the pier, although we
were lucky enough to find a small Irish pub in the morning where one of our
friends even bagged us a table, so we could watch the rugby final, but that was
about as much as my poor head could take. Fresh air and a massive ice cream on
the beach worked wonders though!
By Saturday night, it was safe to say, I was wrecked! Far too
much alcohol, far too much food and lots of sun set me up for a quiet night
back home and just when I thought wind down would begin, I was back on the
vodka and enjoying a picnic in my local park with my family on Sunday to watch
the tennis final.
It was definitely a great few days though – just what I
needed and the sun is still shining and looks like it’s here to stay for next
weekend too…just in time for my trip to London!
