A long day

I went to Brighton for the day - from Bristol.  7 1/2 hours spent there, and 7 1/2 hours travelling. I met up with 4 people I went to school with.  We usually meet up annually, but had missed two years of course. It was great to see them. One had twisted her ankle so we couldn’t walk much. We sat over lunch for hours- luckily it was an Italian place so they thought that was normal and okay. We walked down to the seafront and I stared happily at the sea for a while. The first extra is of 4 of us walking down East Street to the sea. The second is maybe a bit misguided - trying to squeeze the Shard, Tower Bridge, Paddington station, and a pink tower block in east Croydon into a collage. Seems a bit wrong scale somehow. And I went on the Elizabeth line for the first time:) Two stops from Paddington to Farringdon, then straight onto the Brighton train. Very impressed.
