Brighton. Bleasdale. Brilliant. Broccoli !

It is quite a few years that I last visited Brighton, and although I have been around the Forest of Bowland area, I don't think I've ever visited Bleasdale ... it may be something to put right later this year? So why are you writing about them I hear you ask ...

Well sometimes on my visits around the many blogs I visit, I may just see an image that strikes a chord, and I really like it. Take this one below, the big bike and the 'oh so sweet' bike. It was taken by Ian Charters, who writes on a blog called 'Just Us and A Few Friends'. I like to visit his blog for the stunning scenery images, and to know a little bit more about the wonderful areas he visits. Just look at his Great Langdale photo's here, now that is a place where Eddie and I have visited...

This photograph was taken in not such good weather, at the Bleasdale Circle Fell Race. Apparently car parking was in short supply at Bleasdale School, so to encourage runners to leave their cars at home there was a discount for anyone who cycled to the race. Clearly it proved attractive to all ages...

So now to Brighton, you can see some sort of theme here - the letter B! Now Brighton came to mind because it has recently been voted as a top destination to visit during 2016 see here.

Not only does it have interesting places to visit like the Royal Pavilion pictured above and 'The Lanes' for it's many shops, but it holds the annual London to Brighton Bike Ride and also the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, so much going on! In fact family members have taken part in the cycle run ... me I'm just a supporter LOL!  

getting ready for the London to Brighton Bike Ride, see here

it was a foggy day in London - November 2015 - see more here
what a great vehicle it dates to 1899, and how about the classic London Red Bus

Well, now onto 'Brilliant' ... again it was a photo I couldn't resist. It's two of our wonderful, and of course brilliant, grandchildren - perhaps following in their Daddy's footsteps - he is a professional photographer... and who knows? 

How about this? I thought is was great ... but then I would, wouldn't I ...

I'm glad they had their warm hats on. I'm told it was a chilly day and they went home and enjoyed a nice chicken and broccoli dinner. They've both always loved broccoli - I think their dish was similar to this.

Chicken Fillets with Cheesy Stuffed Mushrooms and Green Vegetables

Thanks for reading.

All the best Jan
