welcome
They say April showers bring May flowers, but maybe this year, Mother
Nature will go easy on the rain and give us some early sunshine instead
(wishful thinking?). Whether or not I need to don a brolly and wellies every
day this month, I’m making it a springtime resolution to enjoy the British
weather - downpours, frizzy hair and all. After all, if we didn’t have the
gloom, we wouldn’t enjoy the perfect summer days nearly as much!
Speaking of cake, I recently had a scrumptious slice of coffee and walnut
at The Beach Deck in Eastbourne. What a view, not to mention the lovely
slice of sweet baked perfection. Have a look at our Spotlight on
Eastbourne (p68) for more about this seaside town and some of its top
attractions, restaurants and events.
We hope you enjoy this issue of
insideSUSSEX as much as we’ve enjoyed
putting it together. I’d love to hear your
comments, suggestions and ideas - join
in the conversation on Facebook and
Twitter @insideSUSSEXmag or email us
at insidesussex@sidewaysmedia.co.uk.
With pleasant weather inevitably on the way, what are your plans this
season? I, for one, will be enjoying the outdoors - starting with a tour of
Sussex’s vibrant vineyards (p45). I’ll be visiting a few for a cheeky tasting
(or two), and will also be taking a Sussex Wine Bus Tour (organised by
the Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival), which we’ll be featuring in
an early summer issue of insideSUSSEX, so stay tuned.
Anyone out there have a shiny new engagement ring on your finger? If
you’re planning a wedding, look no further than our Sussex wedding
featuring starting on page 29. Here you can find some of the county’s
most spectacular venues, 2015’s most gorgeous gowns, and of course,
cake, cake, cake!
