So I spent a few days in Brighton last week with my mate Nic, weather was so-so but times were grand. Here's some snaps I took, rather random and may not make much sense but here goes.
2 many glasses
Why doesn't this still exist?!
Beautiful bandstand area on the prom
Nic's firetruck
Beach donut
Amazing chair display in the local museum
Lovely little street where every house is painted a different colour
Would you use Nosegay?
Everyone loves melons
Meet Nic
I didn't take an amazing amount of photos but me and Hollie are going away to Llandudno for a few days next week over the English Bank Holiday. So I'm sure I'll be taking even more then.
Has anyone been/going away this summer?
Great selection, really sums up the charm of the place. Love the tiny dog graffiti especially!
ReplyDeletei've never been to brighton...but every summer i say i must visit. it just seems so far away!
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots, Mat. I love that donut. It's funny, we were meant to go to Brighton Sunday, hence missing the bloggers' yard sale thing. I love that pier, every time we've gone the light is so different. I once went - without camera - and it was just the most beautiful twilight misty rainy blues and pinks, so foggy and atmospheric. Like being inside a neon cloud.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, it's so true: everybody does love melons.
ahh i went to llandudno like..a week ago!
ReplyDeleteahh i went to llandudno like..a week ago!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, I especially like the random little dog painted on the wall, very Brighton!
ReplyDeleteI want those blue glasses too.
I havent been to brighton for 10 years. I remember it to be a very cold day and i slipped in the sea and stayed shivering the whole day ahaha.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are cool, i really like the little houses all painted in different colours. looks like i lovely street to live on!
I definitely recommend this cafe (which doubles as an art gallery) in Bewtsy-y-Coed, which is near llandudno. It's called Alpine Cafe - amazing food and art all at once.
ReplyDeleteWe went on these cable cars which take you real high up the moutains...if you go on this don't do what I stupidly did and FORGET MY CAMERA!
I'll look forward to seeing your interpretation on a trip to llandudno and see your pics! have fun :)
i've never been to brighton, i'll have to get myself down there! great pics & captions! haha. those chairs are great...i love the one on the bottom right. nosegay is a brilliant name, if i still smoked i'd buy it haha :)

I want all the chairs in the display! I was hoping to make it to Brighton when I was in England, but ended up staying in London the whole time. Next time I have to make it down there!
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be elaborate bandstands, like, everywhere.
ReplyDeletelovely photos. during these times of stressful school days, a vacation like this is what i need. now, i am intrigued to visit brighton some time in the future. you're friend's glasses look cool btw.

That beach donut is odd.. and the subsequent chairs remind me of that card I sent you many moons ago (or it seems like it) Have a lovely Llandudno time
ReplyDeletejazzy ♥
Aw I was meant to go up to Brighton but I've pretty much run out of summertime :(
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely though...minus the nosegay.
ahh, love brighton! the north laines were amazing (: and i'm so sorry that i haven't been commenting recently! since i went to brighton (great minds ;)) the amount of posts i had to catch up on was so daunting that i just... didn't. but yeah, i hope you had a lovely time there (:

Oh wow I love the photo's Mat, they came out sooo well. You have got to love Random :P You looked like you had fun :)
ReplyDeletethese photos are really cute and the beach donut made my laugh :)
ReplyDeleteNosegay... what the hell were they thinking?
Oh wow, they finished the bandstand. When I lived there it was a construction site the whole time, it looks really beautiful now.
ReplyDeleteI love that fire truck! Want want want.

Well, turns out your camera actually did a pretty snaz job old fruit! Had a great time as ever with you and Jamesy - Really appreciated the visit! I love my little fire Amy! That was from a craft fair a few Christmas's back - My mum bought it for me which was ace and I got it in my Christmas stocking (still getting them at the age of 25!) - Me and my brother do one for me mum now and Mum for Dad so we all get something to open :) Yes! Anyway - Lovely stuff - Ohh and that Railway does exist but it's not on stilts anymore! I wish they still had the stilts!
ReplyDeleteNic
Love it! Brighton is so pretty and you have captured it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a fun trip. The eye glasses are so cool, the BF has the same but in brown :p. I just love the vintage posters, well actually all vintage posters, still the colors in these are so nice. The chairs are pretty cool too ;)
ReplyDeletekisses,
I
Aaah Brighton looks so lovely and peaceful, I'd love to go there and this since years (I'm a French England lover ! :))
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks for the sweet comment about me on Some Kind of Style's blog !
See U !
I loooove brighton! Right near the streets that have pretty painted houses there is a ceramic painting cafe, where you can paint your own mug and have tea and cake at the same time!
