Hola from Brighton. We visit Brighton a couple of times a year because 50% of our children live there and therefore most of the grandchildren. This trip was a little different because Ben (Jan's eldest) and family were making a flying visit from Spain so it was a good opportunity for a big family get together. That and the fact that our Christmas trip had to be postponed so the grand kids were owed lots of presents and my son has a new arrival, our latest grandchild. Given that it is difficult to get children to bed in a hotel without sitting in the dark whilst they drop off, Jan investigated hiring an apartment to share with Ben. What we ended up with was a very nice holiday cottage north of the town. I say very nice because I'd be happy to live there. The house was situated within the walled gardens of a moated country house and had been built to a very high standard. Everything about the place oozed class making it a great place to stay. Some nice touches like soap, tea and coffee and a wonderful lemon drizzle cake made you feel very welcome. Check out Newtimber Holiday Cottages. Recommended.

They look lovely. How was the Lib Dem conference?:)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good time with your family.
Tried to get Jan to visit the Lib Dem conference but she wouldn't have it. Seems like the tree huggers are a dying breed.
ReplyDeleteTalking of tree huggers there was one stuck in a tree near Seven Dials protesting about it having to come down. Given that Brighton has a Green MP and a Green run council one can only assume that they wouldn't chop down a tree unnecessarily. Some things never change.
