Brighton

After winning the lottery last year, we've just blown the lot on a weekend in Brighton. Despite the fact that a gale was howling in off the sea and it poured down with rain (in the middle of May) it was still a grand time. Shame we never got around to having an ice-cream on the pier but we did have some fish and chips.

There's fish and chips in Toronto, but it's just not the same.

Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like.
