A certain shade of lilac: The best of mums!

A while back Terese and I got a brilliant idea after a few wines and too many cheesy boy band songs - Let's invite our mums over for a 'girls' weekend' in Brighton. Both mum and Gun loved the idea and before we new it tickets were booked and the mum weekend got closer.

The weekend was full of laughter, talking, nice food, shopping and sunshine! We were lucky and a mini summer decided to visit Brighton at the same time as my mum - bare legs, t-shirts and warm evenings!
We started of the weekend with dinner at Pho, an evening full of Vietnamese noodle dishes, beers from Bali and laughter. On Saturday we went to London and spent the sunny day at Portobello Market and went to see the musical Wicked in the afternoon. A fantastic day! Enjoyed the delicious food at Portobello, went shopping, enjoyed the sunshine and were amazed by all the blossoming Magnolia trees. The musical was superb, loved every second of it!
Sunday was spent with dear friends at ours, Costa cooked a roast, my mum made a lovely chocolate cake for dessert and we drank a bit too much wine. We stayed up chatting all night after everyone left and I ended up falling asleep on the airmatress instead of the bed!
We made the most of our last day, woke up early and met Terese and Gun at Bill's for breakfast, went Converse shopping (Yes, we bought 6 pairs!), walked up to Devil's Dyke and enjoyed lunch our on the terrace and finished off the evening with a trip to the cinema.
