Friends and followers, forgive me. I’ve decided to go in to hibernation. So this is my last post of 2013. I am taking two or three months off from Little Lewes. I want to spend the holidays enjoying my children and a very special family event that’s coming up in January. All without distraction. I already […]
Read MoreChristmas is most definitely here! There are windows of wonder all over Lewes. For me Christmas arrived at the start of this week, when the Christmas window popped up at 25 Landsdown Place. I wrote a few months back about how I like the way people on that street in Lewes use their windows as […]
Read MoreNow that we have ‘after school’, we have a new tradition (which we’ve happily borrowed from my friend Anna and her daughter). This is the ‘after-school treat‘. Theirs happens on a Friday, ours now happens on a Monday – don’t ask me why, it just feels like we need a boost on a Monday, is […]
Read MoreIn late September, the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft re-opened. It is quite a thing to behold and most definitely my kind of place. There are so many reasons why, but these probably don’t make that interesting a read. So I’ll cut to the chase. As well as showcasing the art and craft wonders […]
Read MoreIt takes quite a lot to wow me these days. As I probably mention in every Little Lewes post, we have lived here for four years. In that time, a lot has impressed me in terms of things to do with children – in the relative sense that I think there’s a decent amount of decent quality in and […]
Read Mored I don’t know about you, but the past few weekends it’s felt like we’re chasing the sun. The days are getting shorter, the dry spells patchier. But this makes the sunny moments rewarding. When the sun comes out, so do we. (Actually, we are sort of fine with wet weather gear and parks in the rain […]
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 MoreWhat a lucky girl Little Lewes is! Ivy Press have given me a couple of books to review with my boys – the first of which is ‘Paper Play’ by Lydia Crook. And this is my first social media competition, too. If you like the sound of the book, share this review on Twitter or […]
Read MoreWe went to Charleston today to do some scribbling with artist Chris Gilvan-Cartwright. It was part of the Small Wonder short story festival that was celebrating its tenth anniversary. Anyone who read my last post will know that Little Lewes was asked to partner Chris’s event ‘Oodles of Doodles‘. It was a dream for my littlest […]
Read MoreHello! Apologies for the silence. I’m not under a bus! I’ve been on holiday with my family. Perhaps if I’m ever lucky enough to receive pots of pennies from advertisers, I can schedule posts to go out in my absence. For now it’s in real time – if I go missing, so do my posts. Anyway I am […]
