Welcome to the latest edition of the <strong>Sussex</strong> <strong>Exclusive</strong><br />
magazine. It feels like it’s been a long winter, but at<br />
last, the blossom is out, the evenings are getting lighter,<br />
and I’m delighted once more to be able to share lots of<br />
<strong>Sussex</strong> delights.<br />
Recently voted as the UK’s top destination, in this edition we’ve been<br />
exploring Eastbourne. It’s a town I knew in my youth, and has a wonderful<br />
combination of history, long open beaches, arts and eateries. I hope you<br />
enjoy re-discovering it as much as I have.<br />
Good food and drink are always close to my heart, so we’ve got our usual<br />
foodie section in this edition with news of local producers, places to eat,<br />
<strong>Sussex</strong> cocktails and <strong>Sussex</strong> recipes. So grab a fork and get stuck in. And<br />
when you’ve finished, why not head out and try one of our fabulous<br />
<strong>Sussex</strong> walks.<br />
For the green fingered amongst you, we have news from Geoff Stonebanks<br />
of Driftwood by Sea and the National Garden Scheme. And for the more<br />
cultural amongst you, we have our usual selection of things to do, with some<br />
great events coming up.<br />
And of course, in this edition, we have our brand-new wedding section<br />
which is packed with ideas for everything from venues to affordable (but<br />
gorgeous) dresses, beauty tips and planning advice. And best wishes to all of<br />
you planning a <strong>Sussex</strong> wedding this year. You are spoilt for choice here.<br />
I rarely leave <strong>Sussex</strong> these days (after all, why would you when we have so<br />
much on offer), but Janine Marsh from The Good Life France has been<br />
exploring Corsica for us and wow, it looks gorgeous, so if you are planning<br />
an overseas holiday, it’s definitely worth a read.<br />
We’ve got lots more in the following pages, so grab a coffee or a glass of<br />
<strong>Sussex</strong> wine, pull up a chair, and dig in. I hope you enjoy reading this edition<br />
as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together.<br />
Oh, and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for lots more<br />
<strong>Sussex</strong> soundbites.<br />
Take care.<br />
