Yesterday we spent the day with Phil's grandaughter, Nicky who is spending 3 months in Europe at the end of her Architecture degree and before starting full-time work in Sydney. It was such a lovely day - beautiful weather, a lovely companion for the day and lots to show her. We started off with a drink at Bill's in Brighton - that IS quite a choc milkshake.We were tempted to have a slice of one of their amazing cakes but it was a little early in the day - we hadn't yet worked up an appetite. My sister thinks Bill's has the best cakes on the planet and she may be right. I haven't tasted them yet but watch this space for the results of my research.
We showed her Royal Pavillion where royalty used to take their summer holidays http://www.royalpavilion.org.uk/
We strolled through The Lanes and looked at the Pier - most attractive from a distance - VERY tacky at close quarters.
Then back to Seaford for Nicky to catch up with Christy and then a stroll along Seaford beach to see the Kittywakes who nest in the chalk cliff face every summer. The RSPB has set up high magnification telescopes trained on different nests so you can look at the birds - just great.
After a pub lunch at the Golden Galleon it was a walk along the Vanguard Way to see the Seven Sisters
And a quick trip to Alfriston to see the village and church where a pianist was practicing for his upcoming concert.
Such a lovely day. Thanks for making the time in your very crowded itinerary, Nicky, to spend the day with us.
