Hillier Gardens
Today, we drove over to Hillier Gardens with a few friends. By the time we got there it was lunch and we all managed to bring something for a picnic. Thankfully, it seemed that we’d all had BBQ the night … Continue reading
Brighton Kite Festival
Yesterday we visited the Brighton Kite Festival. I took photos and put the set on flickr. But this one was definitely my favourite: That kite was probably 15m or longer. A huge snake like thing, it towered over Stanmer park … Continue reading
