Medieval battles, spring gardens, old trees & foodie trails

Last weekend I went to Kent. Never again. There was snow, sleet, hail, torrential rain, gales, fog, and it was freezing cold. I was following in the footsteps of William the Conqueror, but Kent had me beat, and I am glad to be safe and sound back in the Motherland.

This side of the border, this week I have two fabulous foodie trails for you: perfect if you love the great outdoors and eating and drinking great local produce. And Geoff Stonebanks from the NGS has details of gardens open in March: full of inspiration as always.

As part of this month’s Battle adventures, I headed to Crowhurst to see the famous and very old yew tree and I was absolutely delighted to find its connection to 1066 and King Harold. It’s quite a tree and has a few stories to tell.

And talking of all things Medieval, we have some fantastic Medieval events in Sussex, so why not plan a few for the year ahead?

Finally, if you’re feeling a little sluggish around the middle (no judgement here, I am more hippo than slug), then the team at Elevate have got some tips for you that might just help you squeeze into your spring trousers.

That’s it for now. Word on the street is that there is some spring-like weather ahead. Huzzah!
