Mini Me

Had a fantastic day in Brighton yesterday. It was the London to Brighton Mini Club Run and my cousin from Bedford was taking part for the second year running. The sun shone, we had fish and chips, and ice cream for pudding. It’s amazing how many variations there are to the lovely Mini. It might be a small car but it certainly has variety and impact – bit like me really lol

My aunt and her daughter and granddaughter were there too, so a nice family event. Brighton was heaving with Mini’s and people. I didn’t mind the traffic getting in and out of Brighton, it meant that I could stop and look at my surroundings and all the cars and people. You don’t get to do that when whizzing through the town normally.

Theres loads to do in Brighton this time of year, the Brighton Fesitval always has a good variety of events. Must try and go see a few this year.

Beautiful Sussex

Here are some pics of beautiful Sussex. I live about half an hours drive from Brighton, and its about an hours train ride into London. So a perfect position to be in. The photo above is of Brigton Pier from the rooftop of the car park in Brighton Marina, taken last summer.

My favourite places to visit are Arundel, an old town with a beautiful castle, Brighton Pier, Hove's seafront and to walk along and look at the sun glimmering on the sea with the beach huts lined up behind you. Ford open Market on a Sunday morning, you can get some fab bargains there especially just before Christmas. Chichester is a lovely old market town, and the Catherdral there is well worth a visit. Camber Sands has a gorgeous sandy beach that goes for miles when the tide is out.

The drive from where I live in West Sussex down to the coast takes you through some lovely countryside, the Sussex (or often called South) Downs. Old farm houses, farm land, soft rolling hills and cattle and sheep.

No wonder I love it here!
