A day out in London

 

We got up silly early today, but we're going somewhere!!!  We didn't go to the usual bus stop either.

We came here, to Hove train station!

We're going to London!!!

We arrived in plenty of time to get a window seat on our train too!

And we're off!

OH LOOK!  There's a plane coming in!!!

See?!?!

And then we crossed the River Thames!  We've arrived!

We're not getting a bus today though - we're going by underground!

We had to change lines here.....

And missed getting a decent photo of the mosaics at Tottenham Court Road!  D'OH!!

We got off here.  South Woodford in North London....??!

And by the time we'd come through the ticket barriers, it was TIPPING it with rain!!!

And we have a 20 minute walk to get to where we're going!!!!  D'OH!!

But we eventually arrived here - we're doing the shamanic drumming thing today!!

Hurrah!

Andrea was so excited, she ended up getting a fuzzy photo of the altar!!

We did lots of drumming and after lunch Andrea did some healing too - just as well because her hands were really hot.  I'm surprised she didn't scorch anyone's clothes!

And then it was time to come home...... we've had fun today!

Here we are .......

I like coming here....

We had to change lines here again...

And then got off here at the mainline station.

We had to wait a little bit for the train but we got another window seat again!

There's Battersea Power Station!

And we crossed the Thames again!

We  had a bit of a snooze on the train and only got a bit of the Balcombe viaduct crossing...!

And then got off here!

All we had to do now was scoot off down the road to get home.

We saw this written on the pavement!

And we did.  Hope you had an amazing day too.....

A trip to Eastbourne!

We had a day off from work today, and we're going somewhere!!!

We have to get a bus from here.....

And we're off!!!  It's the 12X bus we're on!  

It's a really good ride as well!

There's Satdean Lido, it's an art deco open air swimming pool!

Now we're going through Newhaven!

And now we're in the countryside!

Oooo pretty!

And we got off here at Eastbourne!!

We had to double back a bit because the bus didn't stop at the usual place....

So we walked down here because we're meeting our friend Kirsty!

When she arrived, we walked over to a lovely Italian coffee shop for a quick lunch!

We got a Cappy Chino coffee which was yum!!

And then we got ravioli pasta with a salad that had balsamic vinegar on it - AND IT WAS FABULOUS!!!

We practically licked the plate clean!!

Then we walked down to the Towner gallery which is this stripey building.

We're going to see this at the Moo Vees!!!

LET'S GO IN!!!

Oh how exciting!!

That was a really REALLY good moovie with Timothy Spall and Jennifer Saunders in it!  We had to storm back into town afterwards so Kirsty could get her train home, and we also managed to hop on a bus back to Brighton which arrived the same time as we did!!!

And then we just had to sit back and enjoy the view!!

It's so pretty out this way

We went back past Cuckmere Haven - we must come back here one day for a proper look!!

You can just see the cliffs in the background!

This is Newhaven - you can just see the ferry in the distance that goes to Dieppe!

We're coming into Brighton now - ignore the bird poo on the window!!

There's Brighton Pier!

Then we got off here to get the bus back home!

What a fun day out!
