9th of November 2016 at West Central Café

Three days ago it was Guy Fawkes. This is an event in England were they celebrate that the parliament wasn’t attract in 1605. In these days there were plans in London to destroy the parliament. Today they celebrate this by campfires and lots of fireworks.

On Friday I picked up George from school, we went to The Bicycle Shop; this is not only a shop but also a café. George and I go there often when we have to wait for Alex.

After a coffee, Woody and Alex came and we went to the Fish and Chips Shop. There I had a real English dinner!

After dinner it was time to go to school to see the fireworks. It was an amazing, lot of different colours and music all on. They made a real show of it (:

The days before and after I still heard fireworks at night on the streets.

Last Sunday, I went to Brighton with Gemma, Annika and Lotti. In the morning somewhere around 10 o’clock we took the train and after 30 minutes we were at Brighton! Brighton is a amazing city, everywhere wall paintings, nice little shops and lots of second hand shops.

The atmosphere in the city is chill and calm, nothing needs to happen and everything is okay. It’s a bit like a student city.

First we went to The Lines, these are small streets with little shops. Not the big brands but little private shops. It reminds me of some streets in my hometown.

We walked on, then we saw a fudge shop, on the windows were stickers of prices they won. This was something we really wanted to taste. It was out of this world so delicious. We had three different flavours, sea salt, vanilla and strawberry.

After The Lines it was time for the Pavilion building. This is a big concert building that looks like a fairy tale one. It looks like Aladin could live there (: We could see a little bit inside and after that we went to the big garden behind the building. There we have had lunch and we went to the most famous place in Brighton, the Pier.

When we walked on the Brighton Pier and we ate our fudge, but this was not a good idea. We were attacked by some seagulls, super scary! They took the fudge out of my hand and bite me. We ate our fudge quick and went to the gambling halls. Of course we needed to try this! We spend to much money but we got two little key rings (‘:

We walked to the end of the Pier, over there it looks like a fairground. Attractions everywhere, but we spend already too much money so we went back to the station.

Back in Redhill we wanted pizza, so we went to a pizza place and had a lovely pizza. Super end of the day!

Lots of love,
