What a day, we left home just before 10am and took the train up to Charing Cross, we strolled down to a Costa, near the Embankment and then sat in the Embankment Park. 

Once we finished the coffee, we went on the underground Northern Line to Leicester Square and changed to the Piccadilly Line for Finsbury Park. 

I’ve never been to this part of London, but through the help of a friend Umit, who lifelong Arsenal fan, he helped me with the route to the ground, but before we left, we went into The Twelve Pine pub and had a lovely steak baguette and chips with a drink. 

Then we took the walk to the ground, as we got closer to the ground, I used the Whats3Word to guide us to turnstile C.  

We arrived here about 2:20pm, the turnstiles weren’t opening to 5pm. 

I must admit, this was very badly organised, just a few barriers placed, but I’m glad we got here early, as after about 3:30pm, the rain started to fall. 

The security staff turned up and all they kept saying was move back, I said, must ask the people behind to move, back, as I’ve been here over two hours and I wasn’t losing my spot. 

Finally after bag check, we got in and entered the north end, the tickets were a bit fatigue, but this helped as basically we could sit anywhere, as we were one of first in, we went level with the stage, but were getting wet, so we went back a few rows, I think we were row 17 at entrance 8 and watch the performances from here. 

I hope you enjoy as much as we did. 

Well, we got sold by the weather app and Sussex weather websites today. 

Everything was saying cloudy at home and sunny cloudy at the coast, with the coast being 20C and home 24C 

We first travelled to Goring by Sea and it’s good that you can still park that close to the beach free. 

We got out the car and took a walk, we soon realise that the wind would be beat us and it did. It was far too cold to sit outside. 

I asked Claire to check the weather app, not sure why has there was no sun here, but when I spoke to my mum and then checked the CCTV it was glorious sun back home. 

The app said it would be brightened up around 2pm. 

So, we decided to drive to Bexhill on Sea as the coastal path is flat and we liked a restaurant there. 

The app this time got it right as it did brighten up, but still a strong wind. 

We took a walk along the sea front and came across the restaurant Pebbles and decided to get food here. 

Lovely service and food.

On the day that should have been my dad’s birthday and already 1 week since his burial, we decided to go to the opening day of the new Mission Impossible film, reckoned to be the last one. 

I was glad at the weekend we watch part 1 of the film again on Netflix and there was no real recap in this film and considering it was nearly two years ago I thought that was strange. 

A typical mission impossible film with a lot of action, slow areas and cheeky moment. 

If it is the last film, we both thought it went out in style, but you never know with Cruise look at the end. 

Today we went over to Tunbridge Wells, to a garden centre. 

We had a bit of lunch, and whilst eating and talking, I said to Claire can we visit my dad’s grave, as tomorrow would have been his birthday. Claire said yes and why don’t we take something, we both looked at each other and I said that bucket you pointed at when we came in 

So, we got that and a kingfisher ornament.  

The grave location is in a hot spot, boy we set on the bench and wow we got hot, but my parents have become sun worshippers, you see them, and they look like they have been aboard for 6 months. 

Early happy birthday day. RIP
