I’m Polly (aka Brighton Mama) from Our Seaside Baby blog. This is the first time I have guest posted on another blog and what a wonderful blog this is! I first came across Belle du Brighton when researching moving down to Brighton a few years ago, offering me an insight into life in the city! Now, as a blogger myself it’s lovely having met Lauren & being part of the local community of bloggers. Many…
When I approached Lauren to ask her if she’d like me to guest post, it (almost) automatically sprung to my mind that I absolutely have to write about Brighton. Brighton is my favourite city in the world to visit, and whilst I haven’t exactly scoured the globe, I’m pretty confident that it will stay a firm favourite no matter where I go. But why? Brighton is a place where I can guarantee I will hear, or…
2nd, 3rd & 4th May 2015 Foodies Festival, the UK’s largest celebration of food & drink returns to Brighton Hove Lawns on the 2nd, 3rd & 4th May this year, for its sixth year running! There are top chefs cooking in the Chef’s Theatre; wine, beer, and cocktails in the Drink’s Theatre and kids can learn to cook too in the Children’s Cookery Theatre. This year sees the addition of the Vintage Tea tent (complete with dancing!) and the Feasting…
Last week I spent an evening gorging myself at Meat Liquor, sadly without the liquor as I’m fairly heavily pregnant! But hey, eating for two meant I could scoff away to my hearts content and not feel guilty. Despite the name Meat Liquor actually does cater for vegetarians and vegans too, and in our party of 5 we had two vegetarians and a couple of allergy ‘sufferers’ too (for want of a better word) If…
I love Brighton, and know I have a lot of Brighton based readers so I thought that putting together a Brighton specific gift guide might be a good idea! I’ve taken a look through a lot of my favourite online stores and put together a selection of things I’d love to get or to give to someone! All pictures link to the retailer, and there is a giveaway at the end of the post! Brighton…
Last Wednesday was an ordinary day for me, until I finished work for the day and headed to Shine, a hairdressers in Brighton’s North Laine to have three quarters of my hair chopped off for a hugely good cause. It has been sent off to the Little Princess Trust to be turned into a wig for a little girl or boy who needs one. I wrote a post last week about why I wanted to…
Last Wednesday was generally wet and miserable, I had to drive 45 minutes to hospital from work in the middle of the day for a 15 minute appointment, and had various dull things to deal with at work both before and after that too. Finally the evening rolled around and with it a dinner date with my friend Karina at Food for Friends (who were very good about me pushing back our reservation by…
A couple of Saturdays ago I was up and out early to meet Lyndsay for breakfast, and not long after we’d sat down for a good catch up in Costa we were joined by Rosie. The reason for our little meet up was the opening of the newest Boux Avenue branch in Churchill Square shopping centre. When we arrived we were greeted by gorgeous ladies bravely baring their shoulders in bustiers, glasses of bubbly and…
