WELCOME TO THE JULY ISSUE OF
SUSSEXSTYLE
A huge thank you to all our readers… And so, after six years’ waiting, summer finally has arrived. With that and Andy Murray winning Wimbledon (as predicted by Greg Rusedski in last month’s issue) 2013 seems set to be a summer to remember. Meanwhile in the Sussex Style offices we are spending the summer months dancing around happily as we are so delighted that our magazine has been so well-received. I have had some great emails from readers landing in my inbox (keep them coming, I really appreciate communication) while one retailer even told publisher Seán that he was so inspired by my feature on rebranding the High Street that he went and gave his own store a makeover. We are on a mission/adventure to create the best magazine in Sussex with smart, sassy and irreverent features (whether it is frocks or fracking) that are a must-read. And we’re free! Can it get any better? Yes it can, we’re not complacent, but pushing ahead with new ideas every month. This month we have a new foodie writer, Sam Bilton, greedily scoffing and slurping her way around Sussex on our behalf. The inspiring Sofie Allsopp has written a fascinating piece about turning to the internet for interior (and exterior) design ideas, our new gadgets and gizmos writer Callum Stannard is almost persuading me to ditch the paperback with his review of e-readers, while Daniel Raven turns his acerbic attention on Brighton Weirdos – watch out, Brighton!

Hopefully you will also enjoy my Luddite rant on the ubiquitous mobile phone. Whether you agree or disagree, I would love to hear your point of view. I’m always open to persuasion.
