Fjords Cruise - Home to Tilbury

We arrived back at Tilbury around 7.00 am.  These pictures show the changing light levels as we travelled along the Thames to Tilbury and then as we waited in Dock for our instructions to disembark.






































 





We had the most wonderful week away.

A day trip to Brighton - July 2024

 We travelled to Brighton by coach which we had boarded in Guildford at 9 am.   By 9.50 we had picked up the rest of the passengers and were on our way.  There was a half-hour comfort stop and we arrived in Brighton at around noon.  Angie and I had a quick lunch in the nearby Harvester and then made for the front and pier  We didn't go on the pier, but made our way alongside to take some photographs of the beach, the sea, and the pier.    The old pier, burned down many years ago. From here we made our way to the famous Lanes and then on to the more colourful North Lanes. The last three are views of the Royal Pavilion - we then left to get a welcome cool drink before boarding the coach for home.

The coach had to drop us off at the coach park, which was quite a bit out of our way.  So, the Humanities group managed their visit to the museum, and Angie and I went to the cathedral, but we missed the other planned visits...
