despite lucy and ron's warnings to the contrary, we decided to go and visit new brighton on a very wet saturday afternoon. the children had a lovely time enjoying all the cheap rides. aly was very excited because she got to go on so many rides all by herself. to complete the experience both children had their first taste of proper british chippy chips in a dodgy caf.

in new brighton's defense it actually wasn't any WORSE than i remembered it!
