Testimonial for Bridge House By Shelley Lewis daughter of a reident Thelma Billington.From the moment mum arrived at Bridge House she was made welcome and her needs were carefully considered. She was encouraged to join in a wide range of activities from their weekly programme and as relatives we are kept informed of what is on offer by email. We are made to feel very welcome when we visit and enjoy spending time there with mum in their excellent facilities and joining in with some of her activities. Mum has been a lot happier since becoming a resident at Bridge House and continues to enjoy all that the home has to offer. The staff take an interest and pride in the residents’ personal care and ensure information is passed to the family when required. We are so pleased that when my father in law also needed a place we did not hesitate to ask if he could become a resident as well. My husband and I find the more we get to know the home the more certain we are that this is a lovely place to live.

The Eastbourne Borough Market is a twice-weekly outdoor market in Eastbourne, East Sussex that sells local produce, crafts, and home-cooking.
Not as bad as reported by some other reviewers, on Wednesday 17 December 2025 we found there more than a couple of dozen stalls with all sorts of things.
We were particularly impressed by the Greenway fruit farm stall where we purchased excellent local Egremont Russet and Elstarvapples at very reasonable prices, much lower than in Berkshire farm shops.

Looking for a great florist in Hertfordshire? Try Perfect Moment Florist, a well-established family-run florist with same day delivery. Perfect Moment Florist in St Albans offer beautiful flower displays for weddings and corporate events as well as funeral flowers.
After several years of Interflora flower deliveries being more leaves than flowers and not lasting very long. I came across Perfect Moment Florist. All of the bouquets they have sent to my mother over the last 3 years were excellent. Plenty of flowers with a compliment of foliage, long lasting and the delivery service was excellent. She was disabled so quite slow coming to the door, but having advised them of this, there was never an issue with needing a repeat delivery. They send an email with picture of the finished bouquet to the person that ordered the bouquet, also detailing that it was delivered. Great customer service!
When my mother passed this year, I used Perfect Moment for the funeral flowers. All 4 of the bouquets were amazing and exactly what we had discussed Mum would like. They were customized from the standard bouquets/pictures and the team were very friendly and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of their kindness during a difficult time.
