There was some frost on top of the nearby cars yesterday morning, so it was out with the 'Polar Fleece' and gloves. Here are a few photos of Brighton in warmer times, for those who may not know my lovely city.
Above is the beautiful Bandstand on the beach. Built in 1884, it's a focal point along the promenade, and very popular with newlyweds for their wedding pix.
The Brighton Pavilion doesn't need much introduction. Built very centrally in town, it was the seaside second-home of The Prince of Wales, The Prince Regent, who late became King George IV. It dates from 1787. Simply gorgeous.
And here is just a tiny section of 'The Lanes'. The old fishing village area of Brighton now filled with cafés, restaurants, antique shops, pubs, jewelers, etc. The perfect spot for a leisurely stroll on a warm Summer's day.
There's so much more, but I'll leave that for another day.

Would be interesting to see the same photos in mid winter
Beautiful images of Brighton ...... such a lovely, unique city. The Pavilion is a particular favourite of mine .... I can remember seeing it for the first time as a young teenager and couldn't believe it !!!! Frosty here in Hertfordshire but should warm up again on Saturday. Keep warm Cro. XXXX
Christmas card pictures. The Pavilion always looks wonderful under snow, but we haven't had any decent snow down here for years.
It really is a spectacular building. I don't think locals appreciate it enough. Yes, cold here this morning; they even spoke of SNOW (but none!). My gloves had their first winter outing for Billy's early walk.
Balmy Brighton. Any snow on the Downs?
I don't know, but none down here!
The cheque from Brighton Tourist Authority is in the post.
My youngest son lives in Brighton, it is fab! Regards Sue H
It looks a wonderful place for a visit. Lovely bandstand and Pavilion photos. The idea of a stroll through The Lanes sounds most pleasant.
It's on my list IF I ever visit
I'm not on commission; honest!
He sounds like a very sensible young man!
It's a fun town/city. Always plenty to do and see. And we have 600 restaurants too.
I need to read up on Brighton. I know nothing about it, apart from what you share here. It sounds really nice. :)
More on the next warm day.
It's a lovely place to live. Very liberal, artistic, and healthy.
Quite cold here today, it even attempted to snow this morning, but gave-up.
Looks a nice place for a holiday.
There is a lot to like about Brighton. Being close to the sea is ideal.
Stay warm...Today, Winter has arrived.
Very popular for 'naughty weekends'.
Cold here too. Glove weather!
How beautiful, thank you!
What a beautiful place!
It's not all so beautiful, but most is.
It is indeed.
