Day trip to Brighton

Saturday we headed down to Brighton for Pride on the train, along with the rest of London. Due to some technical difficulties getting a coffee and a pain au chocolat, I didn't manange to get into the same carriage as Stuie and Paul.
Instead as I walked the train trying to find the boys, I was goosed by Chris and Ronald, being the polite boy I am, I stayed with C + R, chatted and drank cheap cava.

Also in the same carriage was Ian (an ex of someone we were friends with in the early 90's) and one of my clubbing stalkers, Jason. In the spirit of human kindness I offered Jason a glass of cava, but he declined, as "I have to go back to London tonight". This was at 11:30am. Go figure.

We met up with Clayton, Jari, Damien, Mark, Angel, Mark, Oscar, Giles and Andy while we were down there, as well as few others we know from various places. We started with lunch down on the beach, then headed to Preston Park after for Pride proper and socialising. It was good fun day, even if a lot of it was spent on the mobile saying things like "The Wild Fruit tent", "To the right of that if you're looking at it" , "I'm waving a red-tshirt" etc. etc. trying to locate friends. Pride finished up around 20:00 and we managed to catch the last train back to London at 23:00.

It sounds like you were on the same trains there and back as I was!

Good day wasn't it? :)

Hi Paul,
Not the same train there I don't think - we got the 11:04 and the cava was a bottle I was carrying myself (you never know when it's going to be needed!), but you got the direct trains I think? Anyway,
it was a lot of fun and great weather as always too!

Hola guapo.
Gracious para su comentario amable. Now I have to write in English - hope Brussels isn't too cold - not long now before we're in Espana en la playa.


Hasta Pronto.

Besos

Chris.
