Books and tea

I’m really pleased that my book ‘Fearless and Fabulous Women of Brighton’ is now available to buy from great, new local cafe ‘The Green Room’ in Brighton.

The Green Room hasn’t been open long but it’s quickly establishing itself as a cosy neighbourhood corner cafe just opposite Downs Infant school on Ditchling Road. Handily, it pops up at exactly that point on Ditchling Road when the constant uphill trek is starting to lose its charm. Last week they presented me with an incredible half pint of strong tea. The week before, a beetroot and cheese toasted sandwich – a revelation. They also display a small amount of crafts and creations for sale by local people,including cards and jewellery. I’m so pleased they’re now stocking my book!

On the 46/26 bus route from central Brighton if the uphill trek of Ditchling Road has no charm at all.
