Around town

Here are some photos of our life around Brighton.

The park near our house. This particular park is a rock climbing park. We pass it all the time but have yet to actually go in and explore! It is so beautiful to look at, and I can't believe we have yet to climb through. Maybe next weekend...


This is Preston Park which is down the street from our house. This is actually a huge park with a playground, playing fields, and walking trails. In the summer the park is filled with people playing soccer (or footie as the refer to it here).


Eating lunch in 'The Lanes', Brighton's wonderful shopping district. The Lanes are full of quirky shops, cafes, street artists, galleries and theatres. It is an absolutely amazing place to be on a sunny weekend afternoon and we spend time there almost every weekend.


A view down one of the the streets in The Lanes.


These are a few photos of lawn bowling in our local park. Lawn bowling is a hugely popular sport in England. Jeff is dying to get involved in a lawn bowling team; however, as you can see from the above photos, it is a sport primarily enjoyed by the over 70 crowd. To be honest, the players in the above picture are some of the youngest players we have ever seen! This is truly a dying sport! I have encouraged Jeff to get involved despite the fact that he would be 30 years younger than all of his teammates, but he has been reluctant to give it a go. On the bright side, he has something to look forward to in his retirement.
