On Monday we were invited to have a family meal at the newly refurbished Cafe Rouge in Brighton Marina. I hadn’t dined there for a long time so I was interested to see what the new design looked like and to see how the menu had changed.
The Olive Grove is a newly opened restaurant right in the middle of the iconic Lanes in Brighton, occupying a prime location a few steps away from North Street but because of it’s lovely secluded courtyard it was so peaceful you’d easily forget you were in the middle of a city! we visited for a late lunch and were seated overlooking the courtyard, it was lovely anyway but in the summer months when the doors…
The ‘night before we go away’ rush is a familiar one, but normally we’re scraping together a mish mash meal of whatever is left in the fridge, but not this time! As a reward for finally finishing the packing we headed off to The Sportsman in Brighton for a meal together before an early night in preparation for a 5am alarm!
A couple of weeks ago I was invited down to the opening of the new Brighton Hotter Shoes store on Western Road (only a few shops past Churchill Square) and I had a lovely evening of chatting, snacking and most importantly looking at, stroking and trying on shoes! Yes, I know what you’re thinking ‘isn’t that the old lady shoe shop?’ Well that’s what I thought too but after a quick peruse of the website…
I’m so pleased to introduce another local-to-me baby brand this week for ‘what the toddler wore’! Babyzoo is a brand concocted and developed by Karen who turned her hand to kids fashion after working in womenswear and bridal design. The new debut collection is available on etsy right now, with plans to develop a website in the near future. The designs are just amazing, vivid colours and bold, realistic animal shapes. No cartoony images or…
So I probably win the award for the latest post about the most amazing Thursday night I’ve had in a long time, the #AsdaMeatup a few weeks back to celebrate National Burger Day with a BBQ courtesy of Asda. A big yellow bus (okay, two as there were so many of us) chugged us all up the hill and out of town to a fantastic party house stuffed full pimms, burgers and a Jazz band.…
On Thursday I was lucky enough to be invited along to the Posh Totty ‘posh party’ & what a party it was! Cocktails in mason jars with stripy straws, tasty treats both savoury and sweet and jewellery so gorgeous I didn’t know where to start looking first. On top of that a stylish shop, clean simple and well laid out with a passionate team of clearly talented people to chat to. The perfect Thursday night. …
On Saturday we spent a glorious afternoon in Hove Park at Funk the Family Festival, which is a one day music festival that caters for all ages! We all had fun and were exhausted by the time we left (earlier than planned due to a non-napping toddler, but who can blame her as there was so much to see and explore!) We arrived at the bottom end of Hove park and followed the beat…
