Brighton bound!

Saturday 25th October '14

Happy Saturday! 

So today we dove back to Brighton and had a lovely day wandering around town, grabbing some lunch and having a lazy evening in! 

Freya is originally from Brighton so it's lovely to take the hour and a half drive back when we get the chance to say hello to her family and also explore the wonderful town it is!

I've been treated to lots of wonderful things today from shopping! Lucky ME! 

Including Fernando here! He's awesome!

We started the day with the drive and went straight to park in town, which is not recommended on a bustling Saturday. Bought some lovely clothes from Pull & Bear, I treated the missus to some things, and also did some shopping in Topshop and bought some cute new ear jewellery from Puncktured! Brighton's top piercing studio! I'm sure I'll be showing you at some point! Maybe even start doing an outfit of the day? Maybe anyways! 

I love walking around Brighton and especially down the Laines with all of the independent and quirky shops, we stopped off for some lunch in the cutest cafe called Kensington's, I had hunters chicken, and Freya had avocado and halloumi salad! We sat overlooking the Laines and people watched in the afternoon! We also bought some completely AWESOME Adventure Time slippers, from a cute little shop called Snoopers Paradise in Brighton - it's a retro and 2nd hand emporium but also has some amazing new stalls! Check these bad boys out! 

I'm feeling pretty random today, so here are some wacky facts for you. They're going to boggle your mind! Complete nonsense.

Weird Eh!

Oh and look! We also cuddled some Mice today! Freya's sister has 3 fancy mice - Gus, Marvin and Zaphod! Meet Marvin... 

Tomorrow I think is going to consist of some more exploring and possibly a trip to the pier to try and win some prizes on the grabber machines! I'm a boss at those! 

Last day off tomorrow before another week at work, so going to make the most of it for sure! Staying over in Brighton tonight and will probably drive back to Canterbury tomorrow afternoon, back in time for Monday! Oh and 2 weeks today it's my 19th Birthday! I'm actually pretty excited! We also spent today cleaning Freya's Mum's house! It was so rewarding and now it's SO clean! Happy Hannah!

Todays bird of the day is going to be the Seagull! I mean there are so many of them here in Brighton it felt rude to not give them the prestigious "Bird of the Day" position.  In fact Brighton and Hove's Football Team are called the Seagulls! They learn, remember and even pass on behaviours, such as stamping their feet in a group to imitate rainfall and trick earthworms to come to the surface. They even have a small claw about half way up their legs to help them cling on, and stop being blown off cliffs and edges, I guess that's why you can never get rid of them! 

Night Night Kids!
