There’s nothing quite like sparkling Christmas lights to brighten the dark December nights over the festive period. There’s still time to catch the dazzling displays and local Christmas lights in Brighton and beyond, with some running to the end of the month or into early January. Why not treat the whole family to a magical experience during the Christmas break and make special memories to treasure?

Dear Uplift readers,It’s been a while since I wrote a classic Uplift to you - this is the first since July. As I navigated a challenging time, I kept things ticking with some fabulous life advice editions - from Donna Lancaster, Sarah Ockwell-Smith, Sally Abé, Melissa Hemsley and Marianne Power. I am so grateful to those wonderful women and hope you took something from their wise words.

I’m putting this newsletter together at my dining room table. Nearby my housemate (and platonic coparent) is pottering around putting vegetables and other ingredients into the slow cooker for tomorrow night. We’re both full from the pumpkin risotto I made for us to share earlier in the evening. Simon and Garfunkel is, quite randomly, playing on my Amazon echo.

Hi there,I’m sticking to Life Advice editions of The Uplift at the moment as I navigate the disappointment of buying a flat falling through and illness leading me to cancel going to two festivals! I had a full day of rest on Wednesday and am taking things step by step. Once I am back to full health, the good news editions of The Uplift will continue. Thanks for reading The Uplift!

Good morning,And what a Friday in July it is to wake up. It may be raining but there is big change happening in the UK following yesterday’s General Election. I am personally thrilled that the Green Party has won four seats, including Sian Berry in Brighton. I’m also proud of my former colleague Paul Waugh for winning a seat as a Labour MP in Rochdale as he transitions from his incredible journalism career. Islington North has also stuck with Jeremy Corbyn who has won as an Independent.

Hello,This newsletter will reach you on the longest day of the year, with the Summer Solstice falling on June 20th this time around. As this email arrives, I hope to be watching the sun rise on the beach just after 4.30am with the Moon Rays swimming group. I’ll be paddling as I got a new tattoo on my arm a few days ago and I’m not allowed to get it in the sea water until it’s healed.
