And relax! I imagine that at the time of reading this, the presents are unwrapped, the turkey remains are lingering in the fridge, and you’re stretched out on the sofa after two days of intensive eating! Twixmas (that no man’s land between Christmas and New Year) beckons with the prospect of endless cheese and festive films ahead.
With all this in mind, this week, I bring you a bumper newsletter with Twixmas and 2026 inspiration.
First up, if you’re looking for things to do this week, have a quick look at our Twixmas ideas, hand in hand with our round-up of some of the most epic of my 2025 walks … there will surely be something to inspire you there.
If you’re not tired of cooking or eating, what about cooking up Sarah Thompson’s (of Sussex Kitchen) Beef Wellington for a New Year’s Eve feast?
Or if all else fails, why not plan some things to do in 2026? I’ve got a full year of recommendations for you. Or, perhaps it’s time to reassess your health regime. For 2026, we’re launching our Sussex Exclusive Health Hub, starting with a look at the many benefits of home saunas.
And finally, finally … and just for fun, why not test your knowledge from the comfort of your sofa with our Silly Sussex quiz!
That’s it for now. I hope you have a wonderful week of not doing too much but enjoying the best of Sussex at the same time. And all the very best wishes for the New Year. See you on the other side.
Lucy
