UPDATE TO POST 31/08/14 I wrote this post having not visited Gibby’s myself, and a reader kindly took the time to email me her feedback after going for a cream tea there. Here are her comments: Very unkempt, grass up around your ankles, around the house needs a good sweep to get rid of dirt and snails, […]
Read MoreA blazer of a day is on the cards tomorrow, had to quickly share Littlehampton. If you have no plans, I cannot recommend this beach enough. My older son’s school had an inset day yesterday, so we headed to Littlehampton to visit a poorly relative. Here we spent the day having lunch at the East Beach Cafe and […]
Read MoreHasn’t the weather been appalling over half term? OK, not so much the past couple of days but last Monday specifically? The cabin fever became too much for us, so we hoiked ourselves into waterproofs and walked into town. I kept being asked: ‘Where are we going?’. ‘Nowhere,’ was the answer. ‘We’re just walking.’
Read MoreI am excited to write this post, for the images alone. There is often a lot of softly filtered vintagey stuff on my blog, so it’s time to give it a kick of kitch. Anyone who has dipped into this blog will know that I have previously written a lengthy post about Drusillas Park in East Sussex. I […]

Read MoreHELLO. 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! […]
Read MoreWoah there, half term is upon us! It feels like my son only just started school, but it’s definitely time we all had a break from the new routine. Half term has never really affected us – well except that I found it irksome that all the toddler stuff stopped! But now it does, and I […]
Read MoreWe’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 […]
Read MoreThis is a follow-up to my very, very long post about our stay at The Rolling Downs, a pair of shepherd’s huts in the grounds of Bentley Country Park. If you haven’t seen it, you can read it here. Here are some things it’s worth considering if you’re planning a stay here with small children. […]
Read MoreA couple of weekends back, my history-buff mother-in-law came to stay from the North. This was the perfect opportunity to visit Newhaven Fort for the first time. And her stay also coincided with their ‘Living History’ weekend. I contacted Newhaven Fort and they kindly gave my family tickets. But as ever, this will be an […]
