Brighton Fishing Museum of the day

A quick flit round the Fishing Museum should be on every self-respecting Brighton & Hove day tripper's itinerary. It's small so you won't get lost inside and it's got a 27 foot beach boat! As you stroll by on your way to the Fortune of War, you'll feel the lure of its irresistable 'admission free' entrance sign and, before you know it, you'll be caught up in Regency fishing nets and lobster pots.

If you're feeling daring, try some local shellfish from the stand outside or go mad with a fresh smoked mackerel roll.

Sunday reading hours

It's Sunday morning and bright and sunny so I'm starting the day with a bit of Elvis (Always on my Mind). Then out for a family walk on the beach. Fancied going to Brighton's new Jubilee library but can't because it's not open on Sundays. Why not? What's the point in building new libraries and trying to get people interested in them again if they're closed when I'm not working (or doing something else)?
