Good evening all. I have had a lovely day in Brighton today.
Brighton is an .... ummmm ... eccentric, queer (both in old and modern senses of the word), brash, mad small city on the south coast (the sea is the English Channel and France is the other side)
It has the only Royal Palace not still owned by the Royal Estate ... Brighton Pavillion ... which shows that Brighton has been just the same for over 200 years. It was a farmhouse originally, but George IV embellished it ... and then embellished the embellishments.

No pictures of the interiors sadly as you’re not allowed to take them, but they are totally over the top. Queen Victoria hated it and sold it to Brighton Council.
Then we went up the i360 which is basically a donut shaped elevator that goes up a tall pole. It’s built on the pier head of the West Pier that burned down in 2003.
The views were good, but reflections made photography difficult
