Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Hi all We went to the George in Brighton yesterday - had a mushroom and cashew rouste, en croute, with broccoli, carrots, fennel, onions and roast potatoes, with red wine and onion gravy. It was delicious, but so large I didn't have room for a desert - probably just as well.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Hi Catherine It's in Trafalgar Street. It's a vegetarian pub, and about half the menu is vegan. Apart from alcohol they also serve coffee, tea, and herb teas. It's an ambient sort of place - rather pleasant.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hi Nikki I'm not sure. I think there is a Trafalgar Square in Brighton - a small park. I presume it would be the tiny one near Trafalgar Street. I see the traffic flow round Trafalgar Square in London has been changed, so that the road by the National Gallery is now traffic free. I haven't been to that area since the last demo. My daughter loves living in London, and found it boring here when she came to live for a couple of months between selling and buying flats. I'm the other way round. I was born at The Elephant and Castle and moved to the sticks when I was two. I can still remember living in London, especially the trips to West Square Park and Regents Park - always did love flowers.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Unfortunately, they only seemed to sell their meals in pairs, which was a bit annoying if you are there by yourself . And odd, come to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Sorry - I don't understand what you mean. They sell individual meals. Are you sure they weren't pulling your leg?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi Fraggle I don't know why but I assumed you did live in the sticks. Are you in a town or suburbs? I presume living in the sticks in America is far more awkward than living in the countryside here. We have several towns within half an hours drive, so we're still near civilisation!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hi Jo I'm more like you. I loved growing up in Chicago, but now I prefer to be in the suburbs just off of it. Still very close to it, but not in the direct hubbub. I did like London alot though. Maybe it was because I got to roam the streets alone all day at 12 and found some pretty interesting places and sights. Only got lost once, so that wasn't too bad! nikki , " Heartwork " <Heartwork@o...> wrote: > Hi Nikki > > I'm not sure. I think there is a Trafalgar Square in Brighton - a small park.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi Jo In the beginning I took it real slow. Always started out on the same street and just went a different way each time. But I had nothing but time too. It was just me and my Father and he was working out there at the London office, so I was " home " alone from early in the morning till around 6-7 at night. The flat we rented had a small fridge, one of those you use fer college campus life. So each day I had to go out and buy some food staples and whatever I would make fer dinner that night. And the stores in the area where smaller than what I was use to here. So I went to one for one thing and another fer something else. Would do that first thing in the morning and then bring everything " home " . Then I would probably snack and straighten up a bit. Then go out on an adventure. Just walking and taking it all in. Sometimes I would sit somewhere and write, other times just lose myself in the places and people. Then back to the flat to either lounge around er read a book er start dinner. Sometimes we went out to eat. Found a lot of new culture in London! I guess the reason it attracts me so is in the 3 months we were there, I was constantly learning er seeing new things. Sometimes it was lonely on me own, most times it was nice because I could do what I wanted and go where I wanted. On the weekends we always did things together. Saw the sights and even flew out visited Paris fer a few days one weekend and Ireland another. I was very lucky to have this opportunity and I hope one day to share something like this with my son. I wouldn't trade those days/sights/experiences fer anything! Nikki , " Heartwork " <Heartwork@o...> wrote: > Hi Nikki > > I do enjoy going to London for a day out - or to eat!
