July 2010

The weekend after Dublin I went to Kew gardens with Georgia. We fed a friendly squirrel way too much of our picnic lunch, because it was so cute watching him eat things.
We also saw some gorgeous butterflies in the butterfly house

On Sunday Rob and I went to Brighton for a little day trip. We saw Brighton Pier in all its tackiness - excellent!

The beach looked beautiful but unfortunately was all pebbles.

We explored Brighton and window shopped in all of the quirky little independent shops down the side streets. We also had a yummy, cheap fry up and I couldn't resisit getting some fudge.

The next weekend was the one I had been looking forward to all year... The Ben and Jerry's festival. All day, all the icecream is free and you can have as much as you want. We, of course, tried all 14 flavours (counting the fro-yo as separate flavours).

The rides were free as well, and they had live music on the stage, which admittedly we were too busy eating icecream to pay attention to.
