A sea-front stroll (and pub visits)

Happy New Year!

We're very please today to have nice things written about us by Tired of London, Tired of life yesterday. Tom, who writes it, was supremely helpful when I wrote about a month ago asking him for a bit of advice on starting a Brighton version. Astoundingly helpful actually. He, like me, thinks that anyone can enjoy where they live. Sometimes it just needs some investigation, although I'm already as big fan of Brighton.

Writing Bored of Brighton has also been made a lot easier by Jonathan who has been writing music articles about Brighton - something he knows about a lot better than I.

So.. on with today..


Whilst we don't post early enough to recommend the Digital 'New Year's Eve Afterparty' which began at 3:30am and finished at 8am, there's still alternatives today. There's lots of highly-prices restaurants today - take your pick - but we're traditionalists. Our plan today is very simple: we're going to eat our best attempt at a Sunday Roast, drink Champagne (and temporarily feel upper-class) and go for a walk along the sea front.

Brighton sea front's always lovely and makes you feel slightly less like dying after a giant dinner. It might meet your New Year's resolutions but it's also fun. And we suspect our plan might involve popping into pubs we find on route. Always a great voyage of discovery. Wear a hat!

In resolution news, one of mine is to go to more events we talk about on here and take photos to go on a BOB Flickr - which we'd love to have your photos on once it's all nicely sorted. What are yours?

(And in unrelated female-fashion news, Noa Noa in the N Laines have got the nicest knitted, fleecy-inside mittens in the world, investigate this at some point).

Unsurprisingly, I like the sea-front, as do most residents. Here's a photo of a man with a metal detector on the beach. Also being followed with a bloke with a camera.
