Breakfast In Brighton

On a sunny Sunday morning in January, its fun to get out the bikes and head into Brighton (about an hour's cycle away, the speed I go at) for breakfast at the Marina.

On the way, we pass both the East and West Piers.  Sadly there's not a lot remaining now of the West Pier, having been destroyed by a combination of arson attacks and severe storm damage.

And looking East, towards the Marina

Once we reached the Marina, my reward was American style pancakes with maple syrup, served on a very pretty plate.

If you're interested in Brighton, its people and culture, then I could highly recommend Breakfast in Brighton by Nigel Richardson - it makes great reading.
