Brighton Holiday

Brighton is a seaside town only an hour train ride from London. It felt like combo of Coney Island and New Buffalo, MI. 
Any good vacation town should have several antique shops. I found them. 


Bloody Mary's and street music.







Well, we had one day of sun and Brian even got a bit red. 
The beach is all rocks, but they are warm and smooth and feel wonderful.
This crab sandwich was not great, but could have been good without the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." The older couple who ran the fish hut were adorable, so all is forgiven.

Ice Cream with Flake
The pier was built in 1899. It has amusement park games and rides, a fortune teller and food stalls.



Our hotel. Brighton is filled Victorian / Regency architecture.
Breakfast at Bill's was so good.

We waited, but the fog never lifted on Sunday. No beach, so we comforted ourselves with guilty pleasures. We went to the Marwood coffee shop for "kick arse coffee and life changing cake" and read Mindy Kaling's book together. The cake was carrot and it was amazing. Oh, and then we went to see This Is The End. High Culture all around.
