A Picture An Hour. Or thereabouts.
A day of travel to Brighton.
7am - Pack my case
8am - Arrive at the train station and buy a Latte & Muffin from Costa Coffee, the September issue of UK Vogue and pick up that day's Metro newspaper
10am - On the train
11.40am - Wait for my train to Brighton
1pm - I arrive at my hotel... there are some seaside themed paintings on the walls
1.30pm - Straight out to Pret A Manger for a sandwich and cold drink
2pm - Start to walk around the colourful streets of Brighton and do a spot of shopping
3pm - Admired the pastel coloured camper van and scooter... and continued shopping. Brighton has some amazing little shops. I saw a beautiful 100% silk Christian Dior two-piece in a vintage shop and mentally spent a couple of thousand pounds on Isabel Marant pieces in a lovely boutique called Tribeca. If only!
4.30pm - Have a walk back along to my hotel
5pm - Order a rosé spritzer and have a rest
6pm - Back outside for a walk down to the Pier which is only five minutes from the hotel
6.15pm - Buy some doughnuts to eat whilst looking out to sea from a deck chair
6.30pm - Take pictures on my iPhone and upload to Instagram
7pm - Back to the hotel for my dinner reservation
9pm - I look over my purchases from earlier in the day back at my hotel room. I bought a coral top and slim trousers from Zara, a patent & gold belt from M&S and a Lisbeth Dahl toiletry bag from a little boutique.
10am - Finally I retire for the night, quite exhausted from the travelling and walking but very much looking forward to the next day ahead.

Minty fresh vintage toothpaste packaging, I like. And I wish I could have taken home a dozen Pret bakewell tarts, but they wouldn't have survived the plane ride.

Aww Brighton! Such a lovely city! The view from the Pier is really amazing! Your hotel seems sooo nice by the way.

I went to Brighton for my birthday in June and have to be honest, wasn't that impressed. I know, strike me down in flames, because I've read all the rave reviews but I thought it was quite tired looking. Looks like you've had a great time though!
I love Brighton, and your pictures are lovely! x

So beautiful Paula! I am in love with all your photos and now I am more desperate than ever to get down to Brighton and TRY and get some amazing shots like the ones you've managed to capture here. I love how you took us on this little adventure down to Brighton!
Brighton looks fantastic! The carnival reminds me of Cooney Island or something. Can I just say that I LOVE the posts about your little trips... if you ever put together a cute little travel guide filled with all these photos I would definitely buy it!
Such great photos.. I have always wanted to go to Brighton xx
I love this post. This is why I love your blog so much, we re-live your moments through these beautiful photos.

Meena - I will put the pentax pics up once I have finished the roll & had it developed. Think Instagram is just on iPhone at the moment.
Gawgus Things - I do agree. My expectations were quite low as I live near the coast & find most Coastal towns to be quite run down. But the Victorian Pier at Brighton is just amazing & I thought they had some fab independent shops.
Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments...pleased you like to accompany me on my little trips!
the VW van is pure perfection. and i'm kinda loving the donuts. i'm sure they tasted as sweet as they look.
Looks like you had a lovely day. The camper and the sewing machine are super cute.
