It’s been a while since Sue last came down to visit us on her tod. Our recent up-sticks to Brighton and the promise of lovely weather wooed her down to us for this weekend.

Unfortunately the weather decided to take a leave of absence at the same time, continuing it’s rain and howling gales record of the last couple of weeks.

On her first day we did the usual and ambled around the streets of North Laine and The Lanes, all very a nice. In the evening we decided to go to Jamies. Stopping for a drink on the way there.

On entering Jamies we were told it was an hours wait for a table so changed our minds and ate a Zizzi, just over the street. A very nice meal.

This morning, buoyed by a rather more positive forecast, we thought we’d chance a walk out on the pier. We were blown off our feet almost as soon as we arrived at the seafront, we battled the elements, but the views of the sea were very impressive.

Sue started squealing and running up and down the pier like a hyperactive child taking pictures of anything that moved (which in this weather really was everything). Kel and I obediently posed for a calm seaside photo.

We returned the favour and took and extremely flattering picture of Sue. You could tell she enjoyed the light breeze wafting through her hair.

Once inside the pier amusements arcade, we lost about 45 minutes playing the ‘2p’ game. Totally addictive!

Despite the weather, we all had a lovely, if damp, time.
