Up at 5:00 am and out the door at 5:30 heading south to the English Channel. Around the edge of London on the M25, then south toward Brighton. We're heading to Hove, just west of Brighton where Happy Husband's favourite plastic model shop is closing down -- hoping for some sales. We've enjoyed Linda's Cafe on the waterfront before, but today we search out a new watering hole.
We discover the Station Cafe at Portslade Station, having opened at 7:00, five minutes before our arrival. It's light and warm inside on this brisk winter morning. A couple pensioners are already enjoying their mugs of hot tea. By 7:30 every table is taken. 
We split the Number 7 Full Breakfast -- two of everything and beans for Happy Husband. The Christmas decor enhances the old photos of Portslade hanging on the wall. A classic am radio carries music from the 1980's into the dining room. The husband and wife team have been cooking breakfasts here for 10 years.
Sated, we head out. The Portslade Railway Station sits across the street. As I take a photo, a work crew in a fluorescent lorry query what I could possibly find of interest to take pictures of. So I take their photo, too.
We enjoy numerous charity shops and, naturally, the sea. We find several re-gift items for Christmas -- treasures of Merino wool and a year's worth of Sudokus (don't tell Happy Husband until after Christmas!)
Another wonderful Breakfast in Britain.
