A day out.....

Today, we got all our chores done early and then went to get the bus into town.....

That's Zippo's circus over there!

We ended up at Brighton Station.  We're going to meet someone!

We met Arnty Bev off her train and then Arnty Vicky drove us all to her house!

Arnty Bev gave us a present from Portland - that's where she lives now!

We met with our doggie friend Prince!  He was very pleased to see us!

After a cuppa tea, we got the bus into town - and went past this cable box!

We had a bit of a stroll round town and then stopped for coffee an cayke.

We had pumpkin and salted caramel cayke!

Arnty Bev had the same as us, and Arnty Vicky had bloooberry cayke

We helped eat it all

Oh hang on - you missed a bit here.

Then we walked into town a bit more to go window shopping.

After a while we stopped for a drink.  Strawberry gin.  

Scchhhhhhlurppp....

You wouldn't like it at all

it was horrid

hic

Then we went to a place called The Gin Tub.

It's quite posh in here....

And they had old fashioned phones on the table where you dialled your order in!!

We had Edinburgh Roobarb an ginger gin.

Sccchhhhhlurrrrppp......

hic

Then we went a bit further and had dinner at an Indian restaurant called Ashoka.

We had Popapapappapadoms with various Dips.

And then we got a whole spread of three different curries, two pillaw rice, one garlic nan bread, another different nan bread, something else and, and, and - oh!  Yeah, onion Bharjees!!!

We were COMPLETELY STUFFED!!!!

It was yummy!

Then we walked home after waving tutty bye to Arnty Vicky and Arnty Bev who were going the other way.  Zippos has it's lights on!

When we got home, Andrea showed us the CDs that Arnty Vicky gave us!

And also another book that we bought!

What fun!

Drunk at the Ginfest......!!

Yesterday lunchtime, we went into Brighton to meet up wiv Vicky.  We saw this fun Union Jack on the way!!

And another grafitti cable box!

And a statue of Max Miller!  Who's he?

Then we walked down another road and saw an octopus!!!

Then we got here!  We were meeting Vicky for something but we got here first....

Oh wow!  Look at that!!  This building used to be part of the Royal Pavilion building - something like the stables but we're not sure...

Coo!!

When Vicky arrived, we had to wait in line to get into something called Ginfest.  But the line moved fairly quickly, and we got a Free Goodie Bag (pics later) and then went went in to a big room that had bucketloads of gin to try!!!  Vicky bought a token ticket that let us try four different gins (she was really nice and let me and Andrea have slurps out of each one!!) and she even let me pick one of the gins to try!!

I chose this one because it was last on the list and I felt sorry for it being last on the list.  BUT it was SCRUMTASTIC!!!!  All of us thought this one was the best!!!!  It was a violet sherbert sort of a gin and was proper pukka!!!

I'm going to save up some pennies to buy a bottle of this!!

After that, we went out for lunch because we were all hungry - we went past this cable box on the way.

....and stopped here for food...... OH CRUD!  I can't stand up!  ......whoop....sie.........

Dohh..... what?  Oh!  Food..... yeh, right.  I'm hungry aren't I?

Oh now wait a minute.  This is baked camembert wiv bread and chutney..... oh now this is YUMMERS!

Oh that's better.... hic!!!

We went to meet Bev after this as she had some Very Important Shopping to do.....

....at this shoe shop!!

She tried on loads and loads AND LOADS of shoes and eventually found a pair small enough for her feet!!  She was Very Happy!!!  We gave her a round of applause afterwards, too!

Then we went off to Vicky's house and found a new cable box on the way.

Bev got me a present!!!!!

Vicky cooked us dinner of beef wic Brokly an rice wiv chicken saytay an spring rolls and prawn toasts and other yummy bits.  It was all yum!!  Afterwards we watched the Minions and then Andrea was tired and couldn't stop yawning so we decided to come home!

And on the way back, we met our friend Cat and stopped for a chat!!!

Cat is ever so friendly and loves having a chat with us!

I found a button while we were out as well!

And this is what we got from the gun fest - a big shopping bag, our own gin glass (important for when I get my bottle of last on the list gin), a stick of rock and a Beanie Pencil - I can use that wiv my Mouse Book that Bev gave me!!

What a fab day out?!?!?!?!!
