HOLIDAY IN BRIGHTON

Stephen, Emma,Hilary and Chaz.We set off on August the 1st at about 16.30. I dorve to Barnstaple to pick up Chaz and then Emma drove the rest of the way. We stopped at Cartgate for an hour for tea. We arrived at Stonehege at about 22.00. Ther was just some light in the sky. The girls took photographs.
The alarm was set for 4.50. I made a cup of tea and went to see if I we were going to be treated to seeing the sun rise over Stonehenge. I took a very moody photo of first light but there was too much cloud to see the sun rise over the horizon.

We set off for Brighton at about 5.15. Emma drove. Salisbury Cathedral looked good in the early morning sunlight. We arrived at Brighton at about 7.45 when we had breakfast on Madiera Drive in the sunshine. We booked into Sheepcoatcampsite. I caught up on sleep whilst the girls went shopping. We have just had sausages followed by chocolate swiss roll on Brighton Sea Front in the camper. The night is still young....
