My plant.

There aren't any palm trees in Brighton like there were in Marseille. This is the closest I could get to anything remotely resembling something tropical-looking, let alone a palm tree!

And here we have my room. There is a sink area, plenty of storage space, a bed that is considerably more comfortable than it was when I came (I have lined the matress with a duvet) and a desk. And of course a rather impressive view.

Come on in.

There are 6 of us in the appartment. We have a kitchen with 2 large fridges and 2 freezers, a microwave, washing machine and all the other usual things you'd expect to find in a kitchen. There are then 6 rooms - one each, and 2 bathrooms - one with a shower and one with a bath. The communial area's quite nice because it gives us somewhere to sit and eat with the added bonus of being able to look out over the sea too!

My flatmates all seem really nice. There is me, Sophie, Tom, James, Simon and then another James.

Welcome back!

Hello! It's been a while. I'm back. The blog may still be called 'Gill in Marseille' but Gill is actually now in Brighton. It's the home stretch - the last year of my degree and then I'll be freeeeeeeee! i doubt I'll be posting on my blog as often this year as I was last year for two reasons - the first being that I doubt I'll be doing as many exciting things and the second being that I doubt I'll have as much free time.

But my first post after a summer of cooking, dog walking and cycling introduces you to my abode. I'm living in off campus accommodation on Brighton seafront complete with a sea view! Above are 2 pictures of Brighton seafront - it hasn't really changed since I was last here a year ago, and 2 pictures of the block of flats that I, along with a million other students, now accommodate.
