Father's Day Gift Guide Father's Day is probably going to be celebrated differently this year, but that shouldn't stop you from having a great day! Check out our gift guide for some present ideas...

I didn't expect to be back so soon... and in such a different way, but like many of you, we are adapting to our new normal!

Supporting local businesses has always been at the heart of what we do and so we are back with a special bite-sized version of the Family Grapevine to showcase all of the activtes which are still taking place!

We are also sending all our love and support to those businesses which are having to remain closed and look forward to when we can come and visit you again really soon.

As this month is Father's Day, we've got a couple of features to help you celerate it and we've also spoken to our friends at knockhatch & Lerato's Cookery School about how they've adapted over the past few months.

Plus news of a new Pre-School opening in Hailsham this September.

As a new business in Eastbourne, Lerato's Cookery School was founded to bring people together to use food for good. We spoke to owner; Lerato Umah-Shaylor about how's she's adapted during the last few months.

"In these unprecedented times while we are all working together to stay safe at home, it is important to look after our physical and mental health by eating well, cooking creatively and by maintaining social interactions with one another.

You can now join us for live and interactive cookery classes, as I bring the feast to you!

Our new online classes are just as fun and as informative as our

location classes, and even more personalised, adapted to making amazing meals from what you have at home or what you have easiest access to.

Choose from our selection of fabulous classes for a culinary adventure which include Private & Group Cookery Classes, Kids Cookery Club Online for the little chefs, Online Cookery Parties & more."

Lerato's Cooking Quarantine Supper Clubs, even featured in a national newspaper's article on the top online food supper clubs!

Did you know that Lerato is a southern African name which means, ‘passion’ ... and we can certainly see why!
