To the UK again


A busy morning, what with having to play some tennis (William and I lost 2-0, bum), taking the dogs to kennels and packing for a quick trip to the UK. We managed it, but it was all a bit fraught. Then lunch at the airport with Jill and Harry. We have no idea why, but Jan and I got priority boarding. Jill and Harry had to travel coach. In fact we all had to travel coach because Ryaniar only have coach!
We then drove down to Brighton which took 3 hours, (bloody M25 on Friday afternoon), and moved into James' (my son) apartment (whilst he's away in Grenoble for the weekend). We then went out to Murasaki Japanese restaurant, 115 Dyke Road, at Seven Dials, 01273 326231, for dinner. I have written about this place before. It's a very relaxed restaurant. I love Japanese food and now Jan enjoys it too. Murasaki is Brighton's most authentic izakaya style restaurant (it says on their publicity). In Japan this style of restaurant is characterised by a menu that contains many smaller dishes, a sort of Japanese tapas. We stuffed ourselves with with lots of sashimi, sushi, tempura, wine (a couple of bottles of white rioja) and then an ice cream tempura and a few glasses of plum wine. We slept well.
