Christmas on Little Lewes: A Time for Giving

November 23, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

One of the reasons I haven’t been writing this blog so much lately is because, with so much sad stuff going on in the world, I haven’t been sure what to say. So it’s strange that last week – of all weeks – the cat finally released my tongue. I’ve been in a conflict about writing […]

Hi there and I hope you’re well. Still on ma blogging break and enjoying it a little too much. I’m calmer and stiller and it’s great. The sun’s out and Friday marks the start of the holidays. Booyakasha. I know I pledged silence, but I thought I’d share some of what I’ve read since stopping writing. […]

Going dark

February 24, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

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 […]

Let's All Look at Some Blogs: (Drumroll…) Parenting

January 7, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

As you may have read in my first post of the year, I’m kicking off 2015 with a clutch of ‘thoughts’ instead of resolutions. The one I want to really stick to is to take on board a more focussed, consistent and understanding approach in my parenting. Too often for my own liking, I’m short with my kids, impatient with […]

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 […]

SERIES: Let's All Look at Some Blogs // Kids/Craft

August 28, 2014.Reading time 11 minutes.

I cannot believe I am saying this, but I feel like I’ve run out of things to blog about. No, no, no, before I start to really believe that, I need to get something up on here quick. Today marks the one week mark until school starts again. I am so sad – as one […]

SERIES: Let's All Look at Some Blogs // Fashion, Interiors, Design

July 10, 2014.Reading time 13 minutes.

I guess you’ve noticed by now that I am blogging about some things beyond ‘things to do with kids in and near Lewes’. This is because I have to maintain my interest in blogging to keep blogging, but also because I have some interests outside my children and my town. Most of the posts beyond my […]

Little Lewes is a blog about things to do with kids in and near Lewes, the county town of East Sussex.

It's here to provide ideas and inspiration about Lewes's own special little places, and about days out and unusual spots to visit within an hour of the town.

I am Kate, a freelance writer, content creator, and editor who once specialised in travel features and books. My feet have been planted firmly on the ground in Lewes since I had my two small sons. Little Lewes is also for me, as an ode to the town that constantly reminds me that I'm lucky to have chosen it as the place to raise my family.
