In case you have been in a hole, I have left Facebook. This is clearly not big news for anyone but me, but although something horrible happened to cause my departure, leaving has, it turns out, been something of a revelation. And Little Lewes is my blog, so I can sort of write about what I want […]

Read MoreI’m not going to bore you with why this blog has sat untouched for nigh on two months. Let me share instead what feels like a very precious secret, just under 20 minutes from here. Today we headed to Ditchling to do a tiny bit of the Artists Open Houses – we had a rare morning together, just […]
Read MoreWhenever we go to Little Museum Visitors at Ditchling Museum, we head to Mister Magnolia’s for lunch. It’s relatively new and is named for the marvellous single-shoed protagonist of Quentin Blake’s book of the same name.

Read MoreThe sun is finally with us, but we live in the UK so let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s March, not July. Not wishing to be the bearer of any sort of gloom, but it is spring, and rain is still a probable part of our lives. I promised a three-post series of good […]

Read MoreBuried 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.

Read MoreOn 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 […]
Read MoreIt’s book review time again. And, as with our review of ‘Paper Play’, you can share this via various social media channels (see bottom of post) and win a copy of the book! Despite the sunshine on Sunday, we still had a couple of hours at home to kill while my younger one napped. Now […]
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! […]
