Two delights



When we left France it was 31C, hot and sunny. We knew that it had been raining heavily in the UK for most of June, so we weren't about to be surprised. With the exception of our arrival, it has rained for most of the time since we have been here. However, what lightened up our lives was the two little ones that were the main reason for our visit. Maisie and Elsie (who chose those names?) are an absolute delight. Maisie, the older one is at just the right age to have fun with, whilst Elsie is still, er, a baby. Shitting and staring at you! Having said that she is very pretty and always had a big smile on her face.

When we met Cap'n Steve on Friday the conversation got round to curries. Our mouths watered as he said that the curries in his forthcoming hotel in Mumbai are the best in the world. We, on the other hand, were visiting Brighton and, whilst the choice would be large, the quality would be questionable. Ashoka, 95 Church Road, Hove 01273 734193, didn't disappoint. After the little ones had gone to bed, we decided to stop at the first curry house that we saw on the way back to the flat and, against the odds, we chose well. With the exception of the nervous, pompous ass next to us, who insisted that his wine was opened at the table, the food was good. Recommended.
