Sunday–New Years Eve–LEWES/Brighton

New Years Eve!

And a visit to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and is is absolutely pissing down ,,, raining rather heavily.

Yes,,,, that is Graham (below) holding our umbrellas while I take a photo in the rain… (mine is the zebra and pink number in case you couldn't guess).

I think the rain is even worse than the cold, because your pant legs get wet and take ages to dry.

The furry pom pom on my woolly hat filled up like a sponge, and when I shook it water sprayed everyway (mostly all over Grahams glasses and I wasn't aiming). Reminded me of Miss Lizzy after a bath.

I wonder how many people decide to emigrate on days like today?

Anyway…

Below is how the Royal Pavilion should look

– thank you Mr Google…

The Royal Pavilion, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815 (Wikipedia)

And I couldn't take inside photos!!!!

They are banned! POO!

Really, (she says with hands on hips),, get with the 21st century Royal Pavilion people.

Anyway,  pinched these photos from the internet. *blush*

The one above is the amazing lights in the music room.

And these are the Banqueting room with the most amazing chandelier with a dragon hanging off it.

OMG – the royal family would be run out of town if they spent this much money on a pleasure palace.

But it is very beautiful.

So what other excitement did we have for NYE 2017.

We hung the woolly hats out to dry,  had a curry and watched the London Fireworks on the telly and went to sleep.
