Perfect Guests: Donna Collins-O'Brien's Preston Park, Brighton

Buried by deadlines a couple of months ago, I did a shout out for guest posts. I’ve had a couple of responses and am hoping more of these great posts will appear on Little Lewes as I continue to epically fail to keep it updated myself. One of those kindly souls was Donna Collins-O’Brien, who […]

Lunch with Your Bunch: The Cow, Seven Dials, Brighton

On Monday, I posted a couple of photos of The Cow and a ‘HIGHLY RECOMMENDED‘ comment on the Little Lewes Facebook page. It received a lot of views – and likes – and one reader has already eaten there with her kids. Since not everyone following the blog is on Facebook, I thought it worthy […]

HELLO. Sorry for the silence. I am still alive. I am just very (x 1000) busy. I’m freelance and work-wise, currently the sun is shining. So I’m just making a little hay right now. But it feels like my working life is the only place this is happening. OK, now about this rain… IT SUCKS! […]

When the sun comes out, so do we. (Actually, we are sort of fine with wet weather gear and parks in the rain […]

Pretty Picknicking: The Garden at Charleston, near Lewes

We went to Charleston today to do some scribbling with artist Chris Gilvan-Cartwright. It was part of the Small Wonder short story festival that was celebrating its tenth anniversary. Anyone who read my last post will know that Little Lewes was asked to partner Chris’s event ‘Oodles of Doodles‘. It was a dream for my littlest […]

Play Farms: Washbrooks Family Farm

We’ve lived in Lewes nearly four years now. Like most of you will have, we’ve been to several play farms – many, several times. But it was only a year ago that I first heard of Washbrooks Family Farm. So the minute I started this blog, I made a beeline for it. I asked Washbrooks if they’d […]
