Very kind of Viva Lewes and Charlotte Gann to interview me for the "My Lewes" page this month. The overall issue theme is animate and inanimate things with wings and I get to talk about skylarks, skylarkshop.com and more! yumpu.com/en/document/re…

Ann Seaton of Lewes has just delivered these gorgeous crocheted cotton and jute pots to the shop. Divine colours! #skylarkshop #madeinlewes #originalcrafts

Skylark has a new reading spot amongst the prints in the back room! #skylarklewes #skylarkshop #independentbookshops #Lewes

Skylark in Lewes has a good selection of talked-about just-out fiction, alongside some curated shelves of real classics! #skylarkshop #independentbookshops #Lewes

Pale Fire, a new Frogmore Press anthology of lunar poetry is now available Matt Birch (downstairs at Needlemakers, Lewes) alongside other books and art inspired by the Moon. #independentbookshops

Have a read of this very interesting article on TT Lewes by Susan Murray, highlighting the pros and cons of ways of paying and what they mean for people and planet. transitiontownlewes.org/cash-or-card/ "What’s best for you and other people, for the town, and for the environment?"

Gorgeous new limited edition (50) lino/ hand embossed paper work from Hassocks-based Ashley Hutchinson now in Skylark, including "Yellowhammer in the Gorse" and "Greenfinch in the Hazel". #skylarklewes #lewesart #independentbookshops

We now have this thoughtfully compiled volume of the second world war writings of Richard Wicker in stock; brought in by his grandson David Bradford who adds a postscript. There is much fine writing here based on a secretly written manuscript only discovered 70 years later!

New work from Juliet Wallage! Delicate origami paper cut-out and metallic thread work in upcycled frames.

Sorrell Kinley has just delivered these beautiful landscape lino cuts. Also available in limited giclee editions. The nostagic Palace Pier is intriguing: deliberately Bawdenesque, though still possessing it's own energy too.

A cousin collaboration! (I got the easy part). Sisters Lucy and Hannah live five miles apart in Warwickshire and hand make the soy wax and wood wick candles in their spare time. Soy wax is preferable to paraffin wax as is cleaner, longer burning and better for the environment.

Dear all, Skylark downstairs in the Needlemakers is still open for fiction, non-fiction and kids' books. You can also order any title in print via our website or on 01273479418 and we can deliver to your door in Lewes for free! (Or post outside it). Skylarkshop.com

My new shop website is up and running today! Please take a look, skylarkshop.com

Skylark on #Google local.google.com/place?id=12769… ...just getting my head around establishing more of a google presence, it's been a learning curve!🤳😀

A high summer evening run up by the Ouse was so nice yesterday. Swans, ducks, coots. Reflective river. Mainly turned into a walk after 2k, tbh. #sussex #southdownsnationalpark instagram.com/p/CC0Xe--nHL4/…

I went up to the allotment today and found these... micro apple rain mirrors. instagram.com/p/CC1APS9Hm_T/…

Some of the new titles now in skylarkshop.com, based on compelling reviews! #skylarklewes #skylark #booksnexttoart #independentbookshops #pattismith #bookshopslewes #bookshopseastsussex #zellijtiles… instagram.com/p/CC2whVknoAV/…

I took a run/ stroll out to The Lewes Badlands last night. Gorgeous place. Made it back, evidently. This is where I want to film my spaghetti western. Or maybe, organic-fettuccine-with-heritage-sunblush-tomato… instagram.com/p/CC5dKLAA59R/…

I have a new Skylark blog (Skylog) post, please take a look! skylarkshop.com/a-visit-to-ash…
