Still in Brighton

Thursday dawned bright and sunny and after breakfast with legs still aching a little from Wednesday's yomp we set of up hill and into town for yet more shopping. It's good that we all love to shop as Brighton has a LOT of shops! Anyway early afternoon we made our way back down hill to our hotel and after a rest and change of clothes we went for Afternoon Tea at The Grand (as the name suggests a rather grand old hotel). There is always a doorman but not today....today we made our own way in. Then we had to find were to go for tea. Then we waited for someone to seat us! We noted that the hostess/ waiter our whatever you call her placed everyone else's napkin on their laps... but not us (this really annoyed my mum)! 
 
 
I noticed the floor was not as clean as it should be. 
 
We ordered Blue lady tea, and it was lovely. Then the sandwiches, cake and quiche arrived the quiche was goats cheese so I passed on them but the sandwiches and cake was lovely. Once finished MORE sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream and a load of little cakes. 
 
There was waaaay to much food so we requested doggy bags. These came up as four really sweet little boxes (forgot to take a picture). 
 
Once back at the hotel we could do no more as exhaustion set in. We did mange to eat the cakes though later that evening HeHe 
Friday was another nice day and time to pack to go home. All this shopping but we still had a lot of space in the car (not heard off) So it was of to Home Sense (the home side of TK Maxx) Yep we came back to the car with three large bags 😸  
Lunch was duck and pancakes in The China Garden (love this place) and we also ordered a take-away for dad (and us). 
 
Drive home not to bad ...about 3 hours! Very tired but with lots of great memories and goodies. Oh, and a still burnt forehead and one boob!
