Rezzed in Brighton

 On Saturday me, Manny and Matt went to Rezzed at Brighto. Have I ever told you that Manny is a bit of a geek and loves games (well actually a lot of my friends do!) Rezzed is a convention type thing where loads of new pc and indie games are shown (I won't bore you with too many details!) and Manny got tickets for us all to go!

I spent the morning at rezzed and then whilst they went to some talks I ventured in to Brighton. It was AMAZING. I loved all the small, old streets with lots of independent shops.

There were lots of bright colours, lots of great window displays and many sweet shops (I may have made a few purchases!) also loads of food shops and restaurants.

and of course a vegetarian shoe shop! I really want to go back to Brighton for a longer time, I felt like I only scratched the surface of what they had to offer.

I then went back and met up with the boys for some frozen yoghurt - this one is Manny's - I had already delved in to mine before I thought of taking a picture!

We had just enough time for a quick walk on the beach.

and then on the way out I saw this sign - I have a feeling Steve did not intend this sign for me!!!  

Weston-Super-Mare

Last Friday Manny asked me what I wanted to do for food that evening on our way to work - we had been having beautiful sunshine - so my response was I would like an ice cream and a chip butty at weston please. That was that, we went after work with a bag of things in case we could find somewhere to stay! 

The first place we looked was fine, so we got our things and went for a wander on the beach.

It was about 8.30pm and the sun was setting, it was still really warm and there weren't many people on the beach.

I love all the patterns in the sand.

The next morning we had a walk and came across this - the smallest car boot ever! There were 3 stalls - we thought maybe we were there early and more would arrive, but nope this was all of them! I think the sun had made others go to the beach rather than stand behind a stall for hours!

No sun this weekend so far - but we are off to ikea! Who knows what we will come back with!

Croyde Beach

Last weekend e went with our friends to Croyde beach - we stopped on the way to look down on Saunton sands. We were very lucky and had a sunny day. The post is going to be very photo heavy!

Plants were growing everywhere possible! Even a little crevice between some rocks in a wall.

I really wanted to know what was behind the door - where did it lead? 

After a tricky walk over the rock pools with picnic bag we stopped to have our lunch - I had made some multi coloured cupcakes - nothing like a sandy cake on the beach :)

After that we did some exploring of the rock pools and wandered down the beach to dip our feet in the sea.

I love the ripples left in the sand by the tides.

These are a few of my finds! I love the broken shells they hve such interesting shapes!

We then ventured down the coast a little for a hot drink and an ice cream! We sat on top of the cliff looking down whilst we rested!

I would love to live by the beach - I always enjoy going to the seaside and am always happy there! If I could look out on the beach every morning that would be amazing - I would be happy with a little holiday home if I couldn't live there - maybe I will have to have a look at caravans - then it would be easy to pop to the beach for a weekend .....

Seaside

Wonderful weather saw lots of people travel to the seaside this weekend. Luckily, as early birds, we got to the beach before everyone else had the same idea and could take advantage of the clear beach! I love the seaside and it is a dream to one day live by the sea.

There isn't much opportunity for beach-combing at Weston-super-mare but there were a few tiny shells to be found!

Of course the traditional whippy ice-cream had to be eaten - I was far too keen to eat mine before I took the picture so it is missing it's top! I like mine without the flake, I don't want anything to take away from the lovely ice-cream!

We stopped for a drink and I couldn't help but get a picture standing next to the measurements! Mad grin is because I was trying to be sly so others didn't think I Publish Postwas crazy!!

Hope you  managed to enjoy the sunshine!
