So, that's it then, we're empty nesters! Both girls are now away at university, one on the South Coast and the other in the East Midlands which makes logistics a bit of a nightmare, but hey-ho. Anyway, we took Laura up to the Midlands a fortnight ago (the day after we got back from holiday and the same day as the Pope was in London) and helped her (I hope!) settle in - she's got a lovely en suite room in the hall she wanted to be in and her flat mates seem Ok. The next weekend Emily went back for her final year and we went to see her in her new house this weekend and took her out for lunch at Zizzi's in Brighton Marina. I'm a big fan of Zizzi's - good, basic food and consistently friendly service.
Our trip to see Emily was via the caravan where we had a really nice weekend. A couple of friends came down to see the place for the first time and loved it. We had a lovley lunch at The Lamb (Steak and Kidney pie to die for!) and, although the rain then came down again, a bracing walk alongside the harbour and round the lagoon before bidding them a fond farewell and snuggling in for the evening with the rain thundering on the roof and the wind howling around - marvellous! Oh, and I should also point out that we had possibly the best fish and chips ever on the Friday evening from the Rose Green chip shop - doubly marvellous!
