A morning spent in Brighton East Sussex meant a few nice blog photographs, and a few nice things that I can't show you until after Christmas, it's that time of year!

A beautiful florist in the North Lanes, with an abundance of unusual flowers.

The mad hatters hat shop, a hat for every day of the year.

Iydea vegetarian kitchen for a very healthy and scrummy breakfast.

Lemon and ginger tea from a cafe near the station, great for a cold or great even if you don't have a cold. All served to you buy a lovely friendly lady, it makes all the difference when you are served properly don't you think?

And in my mind I spent about £20,000 easily in the architectural salvage shop.

More about my Brighton finds after Christmas, so very exciting!
