Thought I’d share a recent purchase of mine. I got these pretty A6 postcard prints from Southsea Gallery‘s stall at the Love Southsea Gift Marketin Gunwharf Quays. Couldn’t resist the Alice in Wonderland theme illustrations and they were only 3 for £6, so I picked up my three favourite characters from the book [The White Rabbit, The Caterpillar and Alice herself].
Last Sunday, as well as staying up in the evening to watch the VMA white carpet, I went with my family for a day trip to Brighton. I thought I’d share some photos I took while I was there ^_^
1. Brighton’s Royal Pavilion. We never went inside (to0 eager for lunch at that point) but we did spend a lot of time in the grounds it shared with the nearby Art Gallery. –
2. Brighton Pier from the beach front. It was so windy!
3. Good ol’ Fish n Chips by the seaside
4. The pier has a funfair at the end of it. It was so crowded to the pictures I have of it were mainly of people’s heads lol
5. The sun finally came out!
6/7. The seafront has so many little shops, tiny art galleries and cafes/restaurants. We found a shop selling marionettes and a tonne of jewellery stands.
8/9/10.On our way back to the car we took a route through lots of side roads. Then we found this street FULL wonderfully elaborate graffiti. It was so cool. We even got a glimpse of a Banksy piece as we drove home.
If you ever get a chance to go to Brighton definitely go! We only spent a few hours there, but as we walked around there are so many vintage shops, independent furniture stores and cool art galleries there. Not to mention proper British cafes, many of which have musicians playing for the crowds.
