Brighton Chronicles Part II

Hello everyone,
After Saturdays jammed packed day Sunday was far more relaxed. The day of unwinding began back at Hove Kitchen only this time with salmon and as always a good book.


For me a simple walk along the seafront is the most mesmerizing part of Brighton as the view is ever changing yet captivating every time.


 



Having a younger sibling mean I spend a lot of my time in play parks but of course this wasn't your average rusty swings and broken slides we had a steel pan player, water fountains and coffees. It was wonderful.



After a few solid hours of swings and sandpits we took a peaceful stroll down the the arcades. Unfortunately for me anxiety has to make an appearance and in confined busy spaces it wasn't the most memorable of experiences this weekend.



I decided to divert an unwanted panic filled scene by talk a walk down to the laines. This, for me is the most beautiful spot you can find in the world. Just a few cobbled streets filled with a humbling array of people yet everyone excepts one another for their difference in opinion and image. As always I take a trip to my favourite shop 'snoopers paradise.' This is basically the Aladdin's cave we've all been looking for. It's perfect.




For me this was the perfect way to end a weekend of reading and good food. 4 more years and en I get to make my way in the world there. Until next time Brighton.

Brighton Chronicles Part I

Hello everyone,
Another seaside adventure for me and the family. Brighton has always been my favourite place is England so visiting for me is like spending two days in a save haven. I love Brighton for its historic architecture yet it's modern edgy,vibe that contributes to the philosophy of 'anything goes.'


We traveled down on the Friday evening which takes a pain staking 3 hours from our home in the midlands to collapse into bed and sleep away my troubles. Only to be rudely awoken st 6.45am the next morning by my baby sister. Shes lucky she's a toddler that's all I have to say.


I decided to settle for a black skater dress, long cream cardigan and white vans as my outfit of choice, as its cool, casual and comfy. Every girls desires. 
This weekend we decided it would be a change to stay in Hove rather than Brighton and I have to tell you the shops in Hove are wonderful. There are cafes of every continent and style within every corner its afternoon tea heaven. We decided to settle for Hove Kitchen, a pretty cafe whose pancakes are do die for. I decided to chow down on the heavenly pancakes with the last in the divergent trilogy Allegaint which is such a captivating book and has been glued to my hand for the past week.

After stuffing myself silly we went for a woodland walk to the most beautiful park I've ever seen. On the way to the park we came across street markings that gave such beautiful meanings.


( This was by far my favourite because of the colours and cute faces)



After marveling in there beauty I was then awe struck by the beautiful greenery of the park. The view is so mesmerizing yet forever changing, that I could sit and stare at it forever.



Along the walk we found the most secluded yet fairy tale looking seating area. It honestly looked like a scene from A Midsummer Nights Dream.


 Our day of course would not be complete with out a trip to the arcade and a seafront walk. Part 2 shall be on its way very soon.
Keep smiling,
