Christmas wreaths, Sussex smokies, forest walks & Littlehampton

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been really enjoying the remaining autumn colours, and I’m a little sad to think this weekend is probably the last opportunity to do so before we segue full-on into Christmas mode. I’ll be heading to the east of East Sussex, but if you want to enjoy golden leaves, you might want to try a walk at Friston Forest … there’s so much history and some gorgeous views!

Something that has definitely seen a big rise in popularity over the last couple of years are Christmas Wreath Making workshops and although it feels early in the season to start, places at these workshops are selling out fast.

Our Town of the Month is Littlehampton. I’ve visited twice this week, and on the first visit on Saturday, I could have been forgiven for thinking it was June, not November. It was blue skies and golden sunsets all the way. Two days later, I was back, and nearly got blown off the beach! But I did manage some great exploring and finally got to visit the museum.

Finally, I always think this time of year involves a fair amount of drawing up the drawbridge, putting on your favourite pyjamas and tucking into warming, wholesome fodder, so I thought I’d re-share a classic Sussex dish, the Sussex Smokie. Easy to make and very moreish!

Oh, and finally, finally … the latest edition of the Sussex Exclusive Magazine is here. As always, it is packed with ideas and inspiration for Christmas but also for winter and beyond with slow travel and itineraries, recipes, information and much, much more! Do have a look.

That’s it for now. Have a great weekend.
