Fun all year on Brighton Pier

Today we went out in the sun and played tourists on Brighton Pier. We ate candyfloss, and ice-cream, and looked at the hardened gamblers already losing money to the pokies at 11am.

But the best bit was that my nephew kindly took me on the carousel. I love carousels, and would have endured the shame of being a middle-aged woman riding on her own, but luckily I didn't have to. We shared a double-seater horse, whose name was Kelly. Postcard-like photos courtesy of my sister.

Finished up the day with another visit to Hotel Chocolat. I wonder if chocolate would survive the plane ride home?
