Bright

 

Brighton was a nice break, but it's good to be back. Now we've got some unnaturally sunny weather for a couple of days. We also had lovely weather on the first day of the trip (although there was a freezing wind of death ever present), but it kept deteriorating as the days went on. Luckily, we didn't experience much rain. I'll stop being such a weather fixated Brit now and throw some pictures at you:

Brighton has a beach! Who would have known!

 Where there's a windy beach, you'll inevitably find

mermaids with super flowy hair!

 Naturally, an ocean-inspired town is not 

complete without some whale-graffiti.

 The sun sets even in Brighton.

 Guess what? There was a beach!

 This was our hostel. (not)

 Experienced travellers extraordinaire.

Not much interesting to report otherwise.

Today's weather was very English until just a little while ago, when the sun showed itself for the first time today. Rain seasoned with the occasional hailstorm. Perfect weather to stay inside, especially if one has aquired the mandatory travel cold (fell ill a day before flying, still a little snively. All four of us were actually slightly ill on Travel Day, go figure. . .) but there was a mandatory meeting at school. Also, I had to get a funnel in order to bottle the mead we made yesterday:

Finnish mead is not what mead is like in most other countries. It's pretty much a special kind of home made very slightly alcoholic lemonade. We didn't use fresh yeast, so the amount we used is just a guess, so maybe this year's mead will be much more fun to drink than previous years'. . . 

This is actually my first try. Maybe one morning the fridge will have exploded. Also, I've no idea about the amount of raisins per bottle, the recipe just stated a few, so I put around 6-7 raisins per bottle, if this amount is way off please tell me now, before it's way too late.
