a trip to sussex (part one)

meadow at dusk wild flowers

Just got back from a lovely week in Sussex. We were staying on a beautiful organic farm called Hawthbush Farm, in the depths of the East Sussex countryside, surrounded by wild flower meadows, woodland, cows, sheep, butterflies and birds. It really is a magical place.
 
We were staying in the Piggery, which I could quite happily move into. 
Every morning we would wake up to these ladies.

stove tea & cake shepherd's hut

We wanted to stay a few nights in one of their shepherd huts but they were all fully booked. There are a few to choose from dotted around the farm with views over the meadow. This one was my favourite with its little stove, lanterns and vintage pictures, maybe next time...

We also visited Lewes for the first time which is really pretty, lots of lovely shops and cafes and Brighton which is always full of inspiration.
I'm still editing lots of photos of the beautiful gardens and houses we visited, so more to come!
