Posts by guest bloggers to Little Lewes
A woman in a silver leotard, firing a bow and arrow with her feet! Very fit, slightly camp young men jumping on to seesaws and landing on each others’ shoulders! A smiling girl whirling around a ribbon high above our heads – with no safety net! And best of all, my kids, staring absolutely AGOG in […]
Read MoreA few weeks back I published the first of reader Mugs Gohl’s three guest posts sharing recipes she likes to feed her children. Since then she’s started a new Instagram account, @theconstantcook and has been advising me on where to find the best pizza dough recipe and how to use up leftover pastry to make cheese straws. Clever thing. […]
Read MoreA couple of months back I asked the Clare and Julie of The Artworks, which holds Lewes-based art and craft holiday workshops, if they’d like to become regular guest posters on Little Lewes. They agreed! If you missed their first ‘make’, it was for weaving what they call a ‘Wonder Box’ and it’s here. Welcome back Clare and […]
Read MorePost updated 23/03/15: Congratulations to Louise Porter for winning STORY ‘Adventure to the Woods’ on Saturday (and apologies for not updating this post until today – we were away this weekend and nowhere near a computer)! Last week, Melanie Smith contacted me via Twitter. She’s a designer and mother-of-two from Brighton who’s launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise […]

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, […]
Read MoreThis week’s been a bit of a tough one for the Little Lewes family, so lucky me to have great writers who are also small Lewes business owners willing to pen me guest posts. (And roll up and contact me if you’d like to do one too – I’m all-ears!).
Read MoreA couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about alternative advent calendars, and earlier this week, shared my progress with the book one. When the original post was published, Lewes-based illustrator Leigh Hodgkinson commented on it, saying she was creating a sticker advent calendar. So I asked her to pen a guest post for Little Lewes when she launched this […]
Read MorePlanning on exploring one or all of the three Lewes bug hunting spots recommended by the Kellies in their Perfect Guests post yesterday? You’ll need Wildlife Jack’s Top 10 Tips for Bug Hunting with Kids. 1. Bugs like it damp and dark. So look for areas with lots of rotting timber and nooks and crannies. […]
Read MoreAbi and Ed Kellie are a couple I have met a few times at various kids parties and picnics. They are openly keen on wildlife. And they are effusive about teaching our children about it… The Kellies are Lewes parents of two boys, and the creators of ‘Wildlife Jack & His Animal Adventures‘. It’s a […]
