I love the sea, and all the quirky little streets and shops. I'm not sure how the year will be divided. As things stand now, we will be allowed to live in our own house for just 3 months unless we apply for a 6 month visa. After that we will have to return to Brighton for another 6 months before we can return again. I hope the UK and the EU come to some more sensible agreement; the present one is of no advantage to anyone.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-91434566737447381572021-03-27T04:25:17.842+00:002021-03-27T04:25:17.842+00:00My long walk of the day is at around 8 am, with Bi...My long walk of the day is at around 8 am, with Billy (our Border Collie).

Brighton will be quite exciting by comparison and there'll be changes at every corner you turn, I expect. It will be very nice to be able to have a bit of both from now on.
