      The hot weather lured us back to Brighton today, so we packed up the picnic blanket and headed to the beach. I started reading @[326748756112:Kelly Cutrone]'s book @[110112975672696:If You Have to Cry Go Outside] on the train. I hope it will turn me in to a type A business woman.

      We started off at Brighton Marina and took the electric railway along to the East Pier. The train was quite rickety but the view of the beach was lovely.

      We then went for shakes at PJ’s Diner (where @[5518506343:Ben Kweller] first took us). I tried the peanut butter one and we watched @[131583793581459:Tom And Jerry] - I’d forgotten how funny they were.

      We grabbed lunch from @[70148927177:Pret A Manger] and headed in to town where we overheard someone describing the Royal Pavilion as a wedding cake meets the Taj Mahal.

      We had a joint train / bus ticket so we jumped on an open top bus to a Devil’s Dyke. We didn't know what was there but the name sounded cool and it was so much fun riding on the bus with the wind blowing in our hair.

      The views were lovely and you can see all the way to the Isle of White on a clear day.

      We caught the bus back in to town and it dropped us off at the shore. We sat on the beach overlooking the burnt out West pier. I love that they just left it out there for the sea to deal with.

      We walked along the shore to Hove. If I lived in Brighton, I’d rent out a pretty coloured hut and put my craft table in it.

      There were lots of cute shops in Hove and I got some inspiration for cushions to make for the Mews.

      Afterwards we headed back to Brighton and went for cocktails at Las Iguanas. Luckily for us it was happy hour, so we got 2 for 1 on drinks.

      We then went for dinner at Carluccio's where we sat opposite a table of girls who were all dressed like @[35824635063:Audrey Hepburn].

      After dinner we went for a coffee at the Naked Tea & Coffee company. The cafe was really cosy with cushions on the floor so you could slomp.

      When it got late, we sat on the beach and watched the sunset before heading back to London. I love Brighton!
