Favourites

So far I'm absolutely loving doing this blog! Don't get me wrong, I've had a fair few moments where I've wanted to punch my computer screen and/or throw it out the window (did you know about pixel widths? And widgets? And how something might look ok on one screen, and completely misaligned on another?!?!) 

But it's making me actively think back on each day, and kind of appreciate each day more, which is a nice way to start 2014. It also means I have somewhere to put all of my photos like a little picture diary, (without bombarding Facebook with hundreds of pictures of food quite so much!) that I'm going to be able to look back on, and remember.

Since getting my new camera, too, I've really rediscovered my love of photography. For some reason I stopped. And I'm so glad I've started again! 

So I thought I'd share some of my favourite pictures in this post. Half of them possibly won't mean much to anyone, but they are all very dear to my heart for various reasons, and I hope that some of them might bring a little inspiration, in some way, shape or form - or just a little smile :o)

The Sussex Yeoman - best pub roast in Brighton?

Last Sunday, Justine, Ellie and I headed to The Sussex Yeoman for a roast. Apparently, they're in the Top 5 of Brighton's Best Roasts. It seems that word has got around - in the past we've not been able to get a table on the day, so this time, we made sure to book in advance!

It's really nice inside. Small, colourful, with a cheerful, airy, busy atmosphere. And the roasts were really, really good. Justine and I went for the slow cooked pork belly, and Ellie had the lamb. All were served with crispy roasted parsnip slivers, balanced on top of a mountain of veg and roasted potatoes, with a Yorkshire on the side. The show stealer was by far the gravy. Red wine gravy, thick, rich, and delicious. I could have happily sat there spooning it. We actually did ask for more, it was that good, and the friendly bar staff were only too happy to go and get us an extra jug from the kitchen! :o) The rest was pretty damn good, too. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the potatoes (which seem hard for pubs to get right, usually. Is it just me?) were fluffy, and crispy. Mmm. 

This probably was the best pub roast I've had in Brighton so far. Bonjour, place where I will be spending more Sundays.
