London-on-Sea

A wonderful weekend was had in Brighton, it went so fast - but was well worth the long drive there and back. American's will laugh at me if I tell you how long I mean by a long drive. Lets just leave it to the old adage to remind us that 'to Americans, 100 years is a long time, to the British, 100 miles is a long way'...

We got in late on Friday night, having already eaten a decent portion of fish'n'chips from the local chippy van (such things exist in the fens). We picked up sister Greb en route. Mum and Dad were in good spirits when we arrived, Mindy was very pleased to see her Granny and Grandad, as were we. We felt at home very quickly in Sara and Ian's lovely, peaceful house, attended to by my ever attentive parents.

Saturday was a pleasantly busy day, giving us a chance to take in the myriad of great record shops, jewelry shops, comic shops, junk shops et all. The piece de la resistance though was obviously the Doctor Who exhibition on the end of the pier. I will let my rogues gallery above speak for itself, as I am knackered, and want to go to bed. Sunday's photos will follow shortly...
