Switcharoo!!

Over the past few days I have managed to:
Make my way from Bolney (the name of the village I stayed in) to Brighton and back by bus all by myself :)
Walk three dogs in unknown territory (I do admit I mostly went in circles afraid of never finding my way back :P)
Climb trees over and over again
swim
Bounce on the trampoline.
Learn the basics of Cricket!
Keep up with some English football and watch some British comedy shows (so hilarious)
Improve my mario cart skills (lol)
...and loads more!

On my second day Nicki and I drove to Brighton to breathe in the sea air and explore.
Brighton is quite a neat little place just off the coast.
I say little but in reality it is quite a big place. It has the illusion of being small because all the houses are squished together in one long wall and either side of the street parked cars are lined up rim to rim.
I heard a story about my dad and how he used to cringe at how fast Simon would drive through the roads missing the cars by inches haha.
There are two peers off of Brighton's coast and one has a carnival at the end. I played one game there with Nicki, I don't know if I could explain it, but the important thing is I won candy the second time I went back. :) The second peer was burnt down a while ago and is possibly being restored. It looks quite beautiful as it is though haha. The beach is made of rocks and it is quite gorgeous. =)

The second time I was there I met a few people. One of them was a guy from Spain named Migull. He reminded me of Shants. He was there visiting a friend for a few days. He asked me to take a picture with him on my camera so I will put that up when I can.

There are quite a few quirky clothing shops here. When I am rich I plan to come back and shop lol.

I became so comfortable at Nickis and Simon's house that it was sad to leave. They are such a great family! I will have to visit them again in the next few years haha.
They also have to come up to the Yukon one summer soon *hint hint nudge nudge =P*

I have now found my way over to Bedford and have met up with the Rowlands. =) Crazy times reminiscing about the past. Most things of which I have forgotten haha.
They have a cosy little house and I am excited to try out this huge couch they have for me to sleep on.

On a geographical note: From what I have noticed it seems to be more spacious in the north.

I will now stop. I have covered mostly everything and have written way too much.

Have a cup of tea in the next few days and chances are we will be drinking it together =P

Night!
