Brighton

Bee and I went for a daytrip to Brighton, our first view of the sea for about 6 months.

It's a very colourful town, on the one hand it has lots of cool boutiques and cafes, then down at the pier its all crappy looking fish and chip shops and old style arcades.

Lots of fun though!

We ate fish and chips, and ice creams and had beers at a pub on the beach.

Heaven.

You don't know what you've got till it's gone....

Snow and Prague




Here is Megan at the Opera at Covent Garden. We saw Salome, well part of it, we couldn't see the stage very well...



It snowed! Twice! 1st on Easter Sunday the a couple of weeks later really heavily!

Here is us on Clapham Common going for a walk in the snow. That's where we live now if you didn't know already.



Here is the view from our bedroom of the heavy snow.




Last week we went to Prague for a few days. It was very beautiful, but very touristy.
















Lots of beer, yum!

Barcelona and Paris

Here are some photos from our trip away with Ilse...



Delicious, thick hot chocolate in a little cafe downstairs from our apartment.



Barcelona by night.




We stayed in an apartment in the gothic quarter. It was very beautiful. This is the view from our little balcony.




Meat at La Boqueria market.





We went to an FC Barcelona game. They played Real Murcia and won. It was sooooo cold!







In a cafe with our books and beers...



Sagrada Familia.



Ilse and I and a weird guy at Sagrada Familia.



The view from Park Guell.



The birthday boy got some sun for his breakfast!





A sculpture at the beach.



Our last night eating tapas in Barcelona.



Our hotel room in Paris.




Ilse and 139 000 bottles of champagne at the Pommery house in Reims, yum!




B and our tasting glasses of champagne.





B eating steak tartare in Paris. He said it was good and that he'd like to eat it again. Crazy!

So now we're back in London. We've moved into my cousin's room while they are away for a couple of months and are both looking very hard for jobs. Fingers crossed they turn up soon!
