Mr. Bright's tips - Spring 2012




A frosty reception!

Many moons ago I asked my parents for a Mr Frosty. It was basically a crushed ice machine to which you added juice and ice. Slush Puppie-ish if you like. I never got one, so I am a little bitter, but thankfully some other lovely people are sharing their favourite toys at a lovely new exhibition in Hove. Children and adults have collaborated together to create this muzzy display at Hove Museum. I would make an afternoon of it and got to Marocco's on the seafront for an ice cream. Not crushed ice, that would be too painful!


Lipsmackingly good!

April see's the start of the Brighton and Hove Food Festival, which runs for 10 days and is aptly titled 'Spring Harvest'. The focus on sussex local produce, be it real ales or organic cheese. Also, from the 2nd April it's 'Restaurant week' where all the top local eateries get involved and lower their prices. For real! There is a great choice, but my top picks would be Moshi Moshi for super Sushi or The Old Bank for ridiculously good ribs. I'm actually drooling already! The Keyboard is ruined!


Cocktails @ The Finish Line

Now this is not an actual destination, more of suggestion from me of what to do for this year's Brighton Marathon on Sunday 15th April! As you watch super athletes sprint past the sights of Brighton you can cheer from the comfort of your chair! The outside courtyard at Audio or the balcony at Terraces are ideal locations for a tipple with a view. Or grab a picnic from Bonafoodie on St. James Street and hike your deckchairs up to Ovingdean for a stunning view. And i'm not talking about the lycra!
