Brighton

James very kindly offered us his bed last night, and we both slept well for the first time in a week. It was great, thank you, James.

Apart from the opportunity to catch up with our elderly, and not so elderly, kith and kin, the highlight of our trip will be to see Maisie, our grandaughter, so we pop over to Hove to meet up with Rebecca, Jan's daughter, and Trevor, Maisie's parents. The little angel is in good form and quickly settles down, after the usual bribes are offered. We play with her for hours and she is a delight, but the great thing about being a grandparent is that you can leave the little angels at the end of the day. Rebecca produces an excellent Sunday roast lunch, beef, potatoes, roast veg and Yorkshire Puddings, followed by a plum and apple crumble. Seriously good Sunday fare that has evaded Jan and I for a long time. And still no alcohol! You've gotta be impressed.
