April 24, 2009 Tour Day 3 – Brighton

This was our first concert day. We left from our London Hostel at around 10:30am. After what seemed like hours of traffic through London, we finally had a short view of the rolling countryside, before we arrived in Brighton. We had a few hours and so we explored the pier on the Ocean and ate lunch by the Ocean.



The concert went quite well, although we all were a little rusty, but it was the first concert. This was also our first day being billeted, and it was wonderful to get to know some residents from Brighton. Here are a few stories:

From Jocelyne Schellenberg:
We met a host who brought their neighbour to the concert. The Neighbour was determined to come to the concert, even though she has limited mobility, because during World War II she was engaged to a Canadian Soldier. Then the soldier died at Dieppe. She recovered from this loss and married an English Sailor, but always holds Canada and Canadians dear to her heart.
