So the place I used to work at home is located on Brighton Road, the shop itself is named after the road, and the beach at the end is called Brighton. Throw into the mix being a frequent watcher of Choccywoccydoodah (a shop that makes cakes out of chocolate, please click that link, if not for me, for your soul), and just general whispers that Brighton, UK is phenomenal, it was with great trepidation and excitement that I stepped on the train with trusty old Joni to Brighton on 1st July!
OH it's amazing. So many tiny, winding alleys full of vintage shops, book stores, cafes, lots of people with beards and tattoos, and a blooming good pier! We spent the day wandering about, getting lost, walking to the end of the pier, eating fairy floss, debating whether or not to go on the rollercoaster (too expensive), visiting the aforementioned magical choc/cake shop, purchased some alcohol, met the lovely Brodi, at who's house she so kindly let us stay at, went to a house party, a club along the seaside then an amazing gay club. Such good times!
The next day I even saw a pizza shop that did dairy and gluten free. Is Brighton my heaven? Haven't been everywhere in the world yet, but I suspect it may be....
Further proof of heaven

A terrible selfie
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Brodi, who I've blogged about before here: link. And to Brighton, you have my heart.

Whoa. I bought all my bits and bobs for Morocco, I went heavy and got SPF 50 sunscreen, I imagine that African sun to be quite unforgiving!
So I guess I'll blog again when I'm back from Le Maroc.
