insideSUSSEX Magazine Issue 19 - September 2016 | Page 6

welcome I’ve always thought August is a strange old month. It seems to me that it plays out in fast-forward; the end of the school summer term blending into our annual family holiday, which blends into typically rainy ‘Great British Summer’ picnics on our return and then culminates in a busy bank holiday that signals when it’s all over. In a flash. That’s why I absolutely adore September. It’s always sunny, the pace is that little bit slower, and it heralds autumn – my favourite season, perhaps because my birthday often falls on its very first day. September in Sussex in glorious – if you fancy doing something different this month, head to p23 for five pages of fab events; check out our round up of the best London art museums on p20; and see what’s going on at Newhaven Fort and Arundel Castle on p81-82. Yet another reason why September features so highly in my good books? The return of the BBC’s The Great British Bake Off; we’re all obsessed with it here at insideSUSSEX and to mark that we’ve embraced baking fever with aplomb – turn to p47 for a nine-page baking bonanza of recipes, snippets from Bake Off champ, Nadiya Hussein’s new book, Nadiya’s Kitchen, and a sizeable shopping list of baking products from mixers to zesters and snazzy thermometers. Embracing the Tenerife sea on holiday... Carrying on the food theme, we’ve pulled together a lovely selection of September side dishes for you to mix and match with your main courses on p31, and we’re celebrating the county’s bounty of romantic restaurants from p33. You’ll need to wash this all down, of course, so we’ve delved into the wonderful world of Sussex wine on p41 and gathered some expert tips on which local plonk you should be raising a glass with.
