Going to update the blog as it has been months!!

Where to start??

In May we went to Brighton for a few days. We were going to a wedding so decided to stay for a few days.

Arrived Wednesday afternoon to stay in a flat in Hove. First we went out to look around Hove and Brighton and then went for a meal at pizza express- the favuorite food!!





The next day Iain's cousin Alan (know as Aldo) got married to Sakeria.

 Getting ready


The civil ceremony took place at Brighton Bandstand. Here are some photos.
