A Day in Brighton & The Power of Sunshine

 We spent a day in Brighton over this weekend in one of the warmest winter weeks London has seen in a long time! With the sun showing off its rays, we hopped on a train from London to Brighton… aka the happiest place in the UK we have seen so far. Brighton is such a cheesy, classic & perfect beach-town with the timeless fish & chip stores, ice cream vendors & the arcade on the pier where a game is seldom more than 50p per play.

It’s really crazy how much we focus on consumerism, meetings, coffee & our phones in London where travelling just a couple of hours south will bring you to the happiest contrast – people sitting on the beach, yes perhaps with some substances but sans technology. Just happy to be in the presence of each other, and the sunshine. It came at the perfect time – reminding me of the beauty of life, of who I am, of why I’m here & of what’s important to me. I have tried for years to fall in love with winter, but the beauty of summer makes me feel so whole that anything else just feels like a waste of time. It sounds so silly, but I feel like I have a true connection with nature in summer that can’t be forced, forged or faked – the truest love that ever bloomed. I truly love you, Sun.
