Brighton probably is one of my all time favourite places to visit. I was lucky because my parents used to take my sister and I to Brighton all the time when we were kids. I became used to all the quirky shops and people. From visiting Brighton when I was younger I really learnt who I was, mostly because in Brighton to can dress however you like, and be that person you really want to be. I visit quite a lot still, I am fortunate to have friends that live in and near by.
We went to Brighton recently, and this was one of the things Dillon really wanted to do. I of course couldn't wait! We grabbed Charlotte and went along for the day. First stop was jumping in front of walls again. We found a really cool alley with lots of amazing wall art. We took a few photos while the sun was shinning.
The decor was pretty special, and really did feel rustic. We sat down and I glazed at the walls and walls of products for sale. We ordered drinks and food. The cider I had was simply delicious! It was served with a frozen glass which is my new favourite thing. Our food came and it was perfect. 
After lunch we wandered and found the Photomatic shop where they now have two different machines! You can still go in and visit the booth in Snoopers Paradise, but here it's a little bit more quiet. Plus you can choose from black and white or colour. We snapped some photos, mostly because I love these photos and needed some of my fabulous buddies. 
Later on in the afternoon we met my amazing friend Mandy for tea and cake in Cloud 9, an amazing cake shop which sells the most equally amazing rainbow cake. It's a pretty fancy place, with lots of bright colours and lots of cake. 
We wandered around the rest of Brighton to hidden shops, through cute streets, chatted and then got a cocktail to end the evening. Plus we visited the Pier earlier in the day. The sun was warm and it was perfect. We did a bit of shopping. The shops in Brighton never disappoint me, I always end up going home with a bag of goodies. Another perfect adventure.
so my night shifts have finished. which, i am really happy about. and we did get a few good words from our boss, which was really nice. although, i am so tired now...and getting back to normal sleeping pattern is going to be hard.
i got the most amazing ring. i am in love with it. i was looking in the indoor market, and i saw these cute little rings in one cabinet, and one was a chewbacca one!!! and it fit! 
so getting the train back was eventful. we were on the train, and a cow had got on the tracks. we then had to get out at a different station and wait for this bus to pick us up. so there are loads of us waiting in the rain for this bus to show up, which it never does! after a very very long wait, the trains were running again. even though all of that happened, i still had such a lovely day.
so this weekend, was pretty awesome. on friday night i was waiting at the train station with a sign saying Stevens and Wyatt...my friend Laura has always joked that she would love to have someone waiting to pick her up with a sign with her name on...so therefore i made one for her and Lucy. after the laughs, and me jumping up and down and making my friends embarrassed, we went home. many chats were had. then sleep was needed. then next morning we met up with our other friends Claire and Charlotte and went to Canterbury for shopping and lunch at wagamamma's. the weather was so lovely.we had chats about adventures we had been on, old times, new times, new people in our lives, jobs, Glastonbury--it was just really nice to hang out with them again.
then saturday evening we had a little joint birthday party at Charlotte's house. me and charlotte opened presents from our friends, i got some crazy funny present...like, i got a peanut shaped rubber. love it. we had nibbles, drinks and we gave our party bags out----which contained sweets, seeds for the garden, plastic rings, stickers and other super awesome random stuff. we had a really good night out, crazy dancing times were had. 
on sunday it was sad to say goodbye, next time i see most of them will be at Glastonbury. however, as i have this week off from work for my birthday, i decided to go back with Claire to Brighton. we had a couple of really chilled out days, playing crazy golf, having lunch on the beach, visiting art galleries, going to the cinema to see your highness, going out for drinks and a dance with our friend Mandy. 
oh also we went for a lovely walk around where she lives. the woods were beautiful. Claire was taking photos of flowers, whereas i thought it was more fun to take photos of her. 
after lunch i thought it was time to go catch my train....which when i got on the train i sat on the floor for most of the time...then got a seat, then to give it up for someone...to then sit on the floor again. it didn't matter because the sun was shinning, and all i could think about was the awesome adventures i have had the past 5 days. life feels good. 
i went on a little trip at the weekend. i went to Brighton for my friend Mandy's birthday. i met up with friends from uni as well. it was a lovely trip, and it was nice to hang out, laugh, and share stories about were we are in our lives at the moment...like the whole work/guys/what the hell are you gonna do with your life?, kinda talks.
we went for lunch, coffee, shopping, went out in the evening for drinks and a little dance, and late night chats, which included Mandy's crazy cat scaring everyone. 
also----Coldplay are going to be doing the Saturday night slot at Glastonbury! i cannot wait to be sat on the hill singing at the top of my voice, and listening to everyone around me sing as well. bring it on, i cannot wait for June. 
if anyone is up for being part on an art exchange, let me know!..anyway, i went on a fun filled adventure to Brighton on Tuesday with my bestest friends. aaah i had so much fun, i miss them so much. we all are busy with work and other life stuff that we don't hang out as much as we did when we were at uni, as we were always together. just hanging out and chatting about silly random stuff was amazing. 
i and then went to London yesterday with my other bestest friend. yesterday was comic book fun. we went to forbidden planet in London, and i think we were in there for like over 2 hours...haha..i think it was due to the fact down stairs consists of a GIANT room filled with lots of beautiful books- comic books- art books- graphic novels- picture books---and so on. PLUS they had a giant sale section and i spent most of my time looking through the shelves. i found lots of really cool graphic novels from 50p to £2.99..so i got lots of amazing deals. it wasn't great however when i saw a few books i had brought a while ago at full price now between £1.99-£2.99. blah! i also got myself a few little treats.
So I am back from my friends lovely house in Brighton. and i had such a wonderful time. it was nice to see my friends again and just hang out. when i first got to Brighton, it was raining and did not look very nice. however the sun came out later on.
over the weekend we did so much! on Friday once we had all met up we went to the pavilion, down the lanes (which are streets full of the most amazing shops), went on the pier, saw an art exhibition, had drinks on the beach, and went to an amazing cake shop.
i loved waking up to green all around me. just looking out the window, and all is green! on Claire's birthday, which was Saturday went for lunch in a cool cafe/restaurant where i had pink lemonade, visited the castle in Lewes, went to a beautiful park, watching the sun go down, going out to a club on the sea front, and eating chips on the way home.
on Sunday just before we went to catch over trains home, we had orange squash with the ice cube teeth mould i got Claire for her birthday, explored her garden..WHICH IS GIANT. :)
I had a wonderful time, and its nice to be home now. I got a couple of treasures with some money my grandparents gave me for graduating. they consist of the coolest plate i have EVER seen!! and a cute bird brooch, which i cannot stop wearing! :)
