Sam and I went to Brighton for the day and it was really hot and busy! As you can see from the photos the beach was full of people sun bathing and sitting around, can’t blame them because the weather was lovely (for once.)

I’ve only been to Brighton once which was a few years ago so it was really nice to come back again. I love the little streets and the boutique shops, reminds me of Camden but a lot nicer! We randomly found this cafe which had loads of Royal Family memorabilia! The ceiling and walls were covered in vintage trays, plates, pictures and old news clippings and of course not forgetting the pretty fairy lights. After the pot of tea we were on a mission to find a good proper fish and chip shop but by this time it was getting rather late so we had burger and chips instead. Oh and stopped by a pub for a cheeky pint then headed back to the train station. What a nice way to the day!

So if anyone knows of a good fish and chip shop do let me know and perhaps we’ll check it out one day!

Last night Sam and I went along to Open Doors Private View Exhibition.We were, like, two hours late but our friends were nice enough to wait for us! Oh dear. Anyway our friend Fuad was exhibiting so it was great to see his work along with other super talented artists. Open Doors is a pop-up exhibition based on London boroughs, the current exhibition was based on W12 (yeah the Bush!) I didn’t expect it to be in someones house but I loved it because it felt very cosy and informal.

What I liked about Open Doors is that there’s a sense of community ethos. To see artists getting together and supporting the community, promoting the area, and seeing each artists interpretation of W12 there should be more things like this going on.

Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos because we were pretty late and by that time we said our hi’s and bye’s for the night! But Fuad took loads of photos so you can check them out via his Facebook Fan page here.  Open Doors are on Twitter so make sure to follow them for the lastest news and updates about future events. If they ever pop round to the N4 area well I’m there for sure!

I have another exhibition review to write up but I need a cup of tea now. Have a lovely Saturday peeps!
