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 […]

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 […]

On Daydreaming – And Stuff I'm Reading #3

November 2, 2015.Reading time 9 minutes.

So you may have noticed that this blog has been quiet a while. Only now am I understanding what almost every friend who has slightly older kids has meant when they’ve said ‘forget the toddler years, it’s as they get older that they need you more.’ The reason I’ve not been writing is because I’ve […]

THE POO WON'T DO!

September 30, 2015.Reading time 8 minutes.

Right, as of this morning’s school run, I have officially had enough. I have a problem: I’m really sick of walking anywhere in the otherwise beautiful town of Lewes and having to dodge dog shit. Please don’t get me wrong, I love, love, love dogs, and we would dearly love to have one one day, but I […]

Stuff I'm reading on my break

March 25, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

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 […]

Fresh Year, New Thoughts

January 1, 2015.Reading time 9 minutes.

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 […]

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.
