Brighton rocks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m writing this on the train back from Brighton after a delightful afternoon in ‘London by the Sea’.<\/p>\n

The weather was perfect – sunny, crisp and cold – and it was lovely to hear the sound of the sea crashing over pebbles again.<\/p>\n

I took some photos of the tragically derelict West Pier, which strikes a forlorn sight as it slowly rusts into the sea, its infrastructure and beautiful Victorian buildings destroyed by two highly suspicious fires.<\/p>\n

I hope they nail the bastards responsible – local rumour has it that the culprits might be found just a short distance away to the east…<\/p>\n

If you’ve never been to Brighton before, it’s definitely worth a visit – it’s lively, bustling, beautiful and stuffed full of excellent clubs, bars, caf\u00e9s and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Talking of which, you won’t find a better plate of veggie food anywhere than the delicious fare served up by Terre a Terre on East Street.<\/p>\n

It’s not exactly cheap, but the food and service is worth every penny!<\/p>\n

Sadly, my perfect day was slightly marred by grim news coming from Upton Park, where the mighty Cardiff City lost. Bummer.<\/p>\n

Still, I’ll be back in London soon, and I’m sure a few cold beers will help me forget the football result!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
