We took the opportunity (at the advice of Gerard’s wise cousin) to spend some time seeing the sights of the UK for the remainder of the sunny weather on offer – ‘otherwise we would never see it’. The seaside town of Brighton was the first day venture, bringing us pebbled beaches, a carnival pier (where we felt like 5 year olds again placing pennies in machines next to grandmas) and a nice bike ride that wasn’t too nice when the wind and clouds decided to make their way over and against us... Unfortunately Bee has stuck to her guns and it seems like her feet will remain firmly planted on the floor – but I’ll still try to get her on at least one ride in our time here! Into the laneways and markets we headed for a shop and a nice little peek at some of the lovely graffiti on offer.
The older town of Bath was a delight to visit, taking in the old Roman ruins and some blue green algae. In all historical seriousness, it was quite a sight and astonishing that they still remain as remains. Similar to this was the visit to Stonehenge (bizarre that this formation is in the middle of nowhere!). We did our best to make it Brickhenge but unfortunately it doesn’t have the same ring to it... Highlight of the trip had to be the comedy tour at night that took us through some of the unknown streets and had us in drowning in tears!
