Last Thursday evening the Galeón Andalucía ship left Shoreham Port after having been docked there for just over 3 weeks. It landed up extending its original 5 days stay due to popularity and poor weather conditions on her onward journey. So that evening we took the Cargo Bike down to the port to watch it make its way through the locks and head out to sea.

On Friday I had the afternoon off, so after school pickup and the afternoon at home, we headed out to Black Rock which is between Brighton and The Marina for a walk around there before making our way into Brighton to Pizza Pilgrims for dinner, as requested by the kids :)

On Saturday morning Ian started tennis at the Southwick Leisure Centre at a similar time to Ellen's PQA, so while Una took him there, I dropped Ellen at PQA for her morning classes. After lunch at home, we headed over to Laura and Dennis' place for the afternoon and then home for the evening.

Yesterday was nice and sunny, and forecasted to be one of the last mild days before the temperatures dropped, so we headed out to Shoreham Fort in the morning which we had spoken about doing for ages. It wasn't open, but nice to walk around and sit by the beach while the kids played.

Once back home, myself, Ellen and Ian popped out for a bike ride around the Rec and the back roads which was fun to all be out on the bikes. Then the rest of the afternoon we were just at home and in the garden.
