After last month settling in at home and unpacking, this month was somewhat similar with a good amount of home days, some park visits and a few drives along the coast in both Hove and Shoreham directions. At the start of the month I headed into London for our monthly meetup, followed by a few beers at The Swan pub afterwards.

On the 13th, it was Ellen's birthday which we celebrated at home in the morning with her, and then headed into Brighton for the rest of the day. We started with lunch at Ed's Diner in Churchill Square Shopping Centre, followed by a visit to the beach and then onto Brighton Pier for some rides on the carousel and the helter skelter. While on the pier, we were also treated to a lovely sunset with some amazing murmuration of Starlings.

After Ellen's birthday, we eventually received our delivery of our new cargo bike, which we had bought a few weeks ago and arrived from Denmark, albeit all boxed up in pieces. So after spending a few days outside in the garage and driveway putting it together, I eventually had it almost in running working order, just had a problem with the brake pads touching. But after booking into Bike Boom down the road, he managed to get it sorted and ready to go.

That evening, after a full-on day of bike assembling, I headed into Brighton to meet up with Hugo for a few drinks at William Fourth pub, which was good to see him again. On the weekend we decided to take the bike out for a little test run down to the beach which was really cool, and no doubt going to become more and more used back and forth there :)

During the last week, we had dinner down at The Cricketers and then for Mother's Day we had the day at home with an evening meal at Rockwater Hove which was nice, with lovely views from inside looking out towards the sea :)
