Hello from the North Laines in ‘not so sunny’ Brighton.
This month we are sharing the creative, quirky, freaky and always fun sights and delights of this little district. It’s a regular spot for us; hairdresser, massage, favourite Friday doughnut shop, and Sunday pancakes! We pass on the tattoos, piercings, and fettish footwear!
There is always something new to discover wherever you live and that’s the point of sharing our everyday lifestyle with you. We all have places we frequent but so often we forget to take the time to actually ‘see’ what’s around us. Join us on our ramble around…
The North Laines is a mix of original seaside cottages which are now being made shabby chic and painted in every colour you can imagine. Wish we were renting one of these, they are so adorable.
Surrounding the cottages are little passage ways (The Laines) filled with shops, cafes, bookstores and all sorts of arts and crafts stalls.
It’s fun to see the ever changing window displays and the many artists displaying their work. When refreshment is needed, along with some culture there is always an al fresco cafe alongside an alley with some of the best graffiti (this is my favourite).
We challenge you to ‘see’ your usual haunts in a new, quirky and conscious way. Keep your eyes open to something new, a new route to take, a new window display and who knows what else. Go have fun. Happy exploring.
Love,
