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.
