A trip to Worthing

 

Today we're getting a bus somewhere!

We shouldn't need to wait long.....

AHA!!  We're getting the 700 Stagecoach bus!

We went past Hove boating lake.....

And past Portslade....

That's Shoreham Harbour!!

And the tide's out!

That's a weird place to have a statue....

We crossed over a bridge here!

We're headed towards Worthing now!

And we got off here!

We then had a saunter along the seafront.

That noticeboard has fish diving off the top!

Oh wow!!

And we arrived at the Lido!  We've been here before!

There's scads of crows around here!!

We're going to play the arcade games!!  Hurray!!

And I won nine prizes!!!

Then we got hungry so we went into the cafe - we're meeting a friend in here too!

We couldn't find out friend so we had lunch on our own..... with a fizzy drink.

And fish & chips!  yum!!

After a while, we got bored waiting so we went to leave - but then discovered our friend in another part of the cafe!!!  We'd both sent each other phone messages which hadn't been delivered so we almost missed each other!!

Our mate Hev decided to get her lunch here too and also got some caykes!!

You're not really going to eat this are you???

After a good long chat, we went back to play the arcade games to win some prizes for Hev and then decided to head back home.

We walked back and found our bus stop

And headed back towards home.

It's pretty around here...

We went back over Shoreham Harbour...

.....nearly there....

TA-DA!!!  We're home!

I know a dragon that would like some of these..... or maybe all of them.

I think that's a bear, with a duck on his head.

And a piggie.  I know somebody who would like that as well!!!

Crossbones graveyard

 

We're going out again today....!!

We're getting a bus into town!

Ooo, another train ride!  Huzzah!

And a window seat!!!

And we're off!!

Love this bit....

There's Millwall football stadium!

I spy the Shard!!!

And we got off here!!!  We're going to meet up with a friend of ours!

Umm, now, we've come out the wrong exit.....

So we had to walk up the road....

...round to here!!  We met up with our friend and then we walked down Borough High Street.....

And came here!!!  We've been here before but our friend hasn't.

Oh!!  T'hat's a water spout thing!!  That's funny!

Oooo that's pretty.

That's a day of the dead statue!

I like it here.

Oyster shells and heads!

The bug hotels are still here too!

There's the white rabbit!

And a raven!

There's even a hidden skull!

you can even see trains go by from here!

Later on, we walked round the side to see the ribbons properly!

And I left one of my weathergrams on the fence, too.

There's a bear!

Then we walked back to Borough High Street and came here for lunch!

I got a fizzy drink.... and we were given some warm flatbread with some dips and some olives to nibble on.

And then I got a chicken sis with couscous and a salad!

After lunch, we said goodbye to our friend - she got the bus home and we went up the other way.

And popped into Borough Market to try and find something.

It was manic busy but we found what we wanted AND snaffled a free drink!

Then we walked back to London Bridge station....

....to get the bus, and there was one ready and waiting for us!!

We're getting the number 17 again!

We gave them another weathergram

And we're off!!!

We went past Southwark Cathedral!

And over London Bridge!

OOooo!  Balloons!

We went up Gray's Inn Road

OOoo

And we got off here!

We're going down that way

But we're stopping here first to have a look at an expedition!

And we got in half price too!!

It's all about gardening - and even guerrilla gardening!!!

Oh what fun!

Seed bombs???  Oh heck!

Oh wow, these paintings are fab!

Well that was kind of interesting......  but a bit boring too!

But it's home time now, so we came down to the station.

Oh, we don't have to wait long for our train!  That's good!

And we got another window seat!

Here's Blackfriars Station.

There's the Shard again.

On the way to London Bridge....

And we're back home!

And then we got the last bus of the day....

And got off here!

When we got home, we got out our shopping.....

We got some posh salt!  

One is Celtic sea salt (the white one) and the other is Himalayan salt (the pink one)

We found we had a package delivered to us today

We got four tubes of watercolour paints in pretty colours 

And some sample sheets of watercolour papers

What a fun day!!!
