BRIGHTON ROAD TRIP

Hannah, Dan, Emily and I got up on Saturday morning and headed for sunny Brighton with grand plans of showing Eggs the sea, consuming good coffee, enjoying adult beverages on the beach and finding some good eats.

We managed all of them except the coffee.. I guess another road trip is in order to catch up on the delights of Taylor St Baristas, Marwood and Ground (Thanks to Mulia for the suggestions).

We started our day with a stop at Seasons to get our morning caffeine hit and got on the motorway for our 2hr drive to the seaside! Once we'd parked we headed to the beach, found the dog friendly section and enjoyed the sunshine and ambiance for a few hours until our stomachs began to grumble.

We settled on Burgers for dinner and Yelp told me the best stop around was Grubbs Burgers unfortunately it seemed to have disappeared to be replaced by Neighbourhood. But what a find! Cheap AMAZING burgers, fries and Pimms soon sated our needs and we finished the evening off with some Strawberry and Lime cider enjoying the last of the sunshine on the beach.

We'll be going again without a doubt!

BOGNOR REGIS

Bognor Regis - the quintessential British sea side town complete with a Butlins just to make it really English

Being a country boy (the home counties no less) I rarely see the sea but I had to travel down south for work one morning and thought it might be interesting to take a look at the sea front in case something had changed over the last few years. I can safely say the sea is still there and Bognor is as miserable as ever!

Since Hannah is a Vancouver girl and has grown up surrounded by water I promised her we'd have a road trip with Eggs to a nice stretch of coast for a relaxed day of picnicking in the sunshine, when we get the sunshine? Maybe? Sometime soon? Please?!
