The Esplanade at Brighton - January 2018

This place would be a hive of activity during the summer.

Art Deco buildings line the foreshore.

Who is your new friend Julia?   

We lost most of our small change playing games out on the pier.  A few rides were still running, we picked up some rock candy and souvenirs as well as an ice-cream each, perfect really.

The Royal Pavilion

As the day ends.... the setting sun makes this amazing building look mystical.

Whoops - no photos allowed.  This is the kitchen in the Pavilion.

I just loved this place.  We just scraped in before closing...so glad we didn't miss out.  Very plush and grand, nice little shack by the beach for some.  I loved it, and it has an extensive gift shop.

Getting quite dark, so off for a meal at yet another pub, before we head back to London.

Fantastic Day!
