A balmy day in London, so we escaped to a breezier place. First to Brighton Pavilion and a stroll around the beautiful surrounding gardens that were in full bloom, although sadly we didn't have time to explore the museum within the Pavilion.
From there, we tried to locate D'arcys, which was a bit of a mission but well worth it (and we made an unexpected visit to ChoccyWoccyDoodah on the way, which was a must see). At Darcy's we both ordered the Lobster pasta, which came in a delicious tomato sauce, on a bed of spaghetti. The Lobster was cooked to perfection, and despite us both of us declaring that we could never finish the behemoth of a plate, it was polished off within about ten minutes. (It's also worth mentioning that a trip to the bathroom allows you to explore a gorgeous old house).
After lunch, we dragged our sleepy selves off to the pier, and then down to the beach for a read and an afternoon nap. It was the perfect weather, so we were reluctant to schlep back into town, but as the shops close at around 5pm, we roused ourselves and went for ice cream to perk us up.
Post ice cream, we set about investigating the independent shops. Unfortunately it was already the cusp of closing time so there were many stores left unexplored, but we did manage to load up on a few interior decorations. This means that a return visit is definitely due in the not too distant future. Any recommendations for a return visit are welcome, and hopefully a guide on the shops to come!
