A return ticket to 2007 please!

Thirty something excited students from various parts of Sweden started to arrive to Brighton in the end of August 2007. Everyone from different backgrounds and with a different history but all in Brighton for the same reason, to study English at Sussex University. The term started and everyone started to get to know each other, events were arranged by the Uni as well as weekend trips and opportunities to be a part of different societies  at the campus. I was one of these young, excited, scared, students who left my safe home for the first time to venture out in the world and stand on my own legs. Well, nearly on my own, I did have my best friend with me. Together we experienced Brighton, we lived, we laughed, we learnt new things and we meet many amazing people. Some of them are still a part of our lives and those very special four months we spent here together in 2007 will always keep us together.

A lot has happened since this care free, young, fun filled part of my life, however, on this particular November day when my friends from the past, yet again returned to Brighton I felt exactly the same as I did in 2007, as if nothing had changed. We laughed, we remembered, we ate, we drank, we created more memories, we talked and we shared stories.
Thank you for a fantastic weekend gorgeous ladies.

Murder at Soft Rock Café

Thiza Doolittle, Dow Jones, Goodie Two-Shoes, Won Ton Suey, Buck Fizz, Lara Parma-Tortellini, Chief Inspector Closely and Detective Sergeant Clutz all gathered on rainy October evening to solve the murder of a very close friend of theirs.
The six friends and the police officers consume a delicious tapas dinner together whilst trying to figure out what has happened to their dear friend. During the evening a lot of surprises are revealed and some of the dinner guests might not have been as fond of the victim as they first tried to claim. The evening is full of accusations, memories shared, tears, laughter and finally a solution to the murder!
 Do they look capable of solving a murder?
Dow Jones is ready to welcome his guests.
 
Detectives!

Giggling Squid

Delicious lunch, great atmosphere and fantastic friends! We spent Saturday with some of our dear friends enjoying a gorgeous thai lunch at the Giggling Squid. After this extremely enjoyable afternoon I am seriously contemplating becoming 'a lady that lunch'.

St Jude day storm

Warnings for the St Jude day storm had been coming out for weeks in advance, 'hurricane force wind', 'stay inside', 'stock up', 'secure your houses', 'no public transport', however when St Jude arrived on the 28th October it did not hit Brighton as bad as predicted. A few fallen trees, some houses without electricity and delays in public transport. The sea was amazing though, wild, loud and very fascinating!
