Hello 2016, Goodbye Little Lewes

Image via iloapp.misoui.se Happy happy New Year to one and all! And I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Our tree is being taken down as I write – it was a good festive season, perhaps not the best ever, and I’m definitely over it. I’m ready for a new year and its new challenges! This won’t […]

Hello September, My Favourite Month

So, my family and I have been back from our far-off adventures for two weeks, and with our arrival somehow the summer pretty much departed. Thanks awfully!

Ta Ta For Now!

Off we go tonight, into the wild blue yonder! My little family and I are off eastwards to stay with my dad, to an equatorial city-state island where we will spend our quality time wilting and rehydrating in the oppressive humidity – and also having a big, wonderful, colourful, tropical adventure. While we’re there we’ll be celebrating the island’s 50th […]

Stuff I'm reading and thinking about on my break (pt 2) – and coming back

Election day is a couple of weeks away – do you know how you’re voting yet? In the past I’ve just known that I’m a [insert party name]* supporter and it’s been a no-brainer. But on the back of this coalition government, and probably because I have a fully fledged family and a child in school now, […]

Going dark

Hi Little Lewes readers, So I’ve decided to take a break. I don’t know for how long yet, but for a couple of months at least. I have two brilliant and twinkly children who I want to be more present with, all while my demanding job is undergoing big changes as of this week, which could cause me to have […]

New Series: Food for the Fam and the Fussies (And a Call for Help!)

And so to my second ‘thought’ for 2015: to feed my children with more variety, freshness and thought. To explain, this is two-fold, because my youngest child is the world’s worst eater. He’s a sugar-addicted, crumpet-loading, non-adventurer who will NOT EAT a vegetable in any form. So in his case, it’s about encouraging him to eat, […]

Fresh Year, New Thoughts

Happy new year (and long post alert)! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for the fresh start. I know I am. I’ve loved our Christmas so much, but now I’m ready for a reboot. What New Year’s resolutions do you have in store for 2015? Mine are quite simple and I’m keeping […]

My Favourite 14 Posts for '14 – And Happy New Year!

As we bid adieu to 2014, I’m sure we all feel contemplative. For me and my family it’s been a pretty good year, especially compared to 2013, which was pretty lousy. When I look back over this year’s Little Lewes posts, it reminds me of the fantastic things we’ve done. I feel so lucky to have my family, our health and our […]

Warmest Christmas Wishes to You

And so that time of year has come around finally. I feel like I’ve been blogging about Christmas for weeks (well I have, since the end of October – sorry!). Now it’s time to down tools and enjoy time with my husband and our boys. I don’t think anyone will be wanting to read my waffle over […]
