Stuff Tailormade

Sam Tuffnell is one of these guys who was just born to be outside, working in overalls, working with his hands and generally getting dirty… you couldn’t imagine him in an office environment if you know what I mean. His furniture-making business S.Tuff Tailormade (see what he did there) allows him to do all these things and more. It’s a business that manifested very organically as a result of a few twists and turns and Sam told me all about it over a Matcha latte in Home Coffee.

Kids To Do

Week one has passed us by in Southsea when all the chocolate has been devoured (have you any eggs left?) Lots of excitement has gone and maybe you are wondering what to do with your kids this week? Well, here is a roundup of what we think is a great way to spend your week! Have fun and let's see some spring sunshine soon :)

New Gin Club

Well, having loved Gin for a while and seeing as this alcoholic drink is getting more and more popular, the Southsea Folk team thought why not start a Gin Club. Somewhere we can all chat about new gins we have tried and loved, listen to experts tell us information, doing talks around new gins and go visit some festivals with a possibility of going to a distillery or two!

Home Coffee Shop

Welcome (to) Home. Whether I'm grabbing a quick takeaway or settling down for a few hours to work (and work my way through the menu) I always feel welcome here. Home Coffee is a triumph in Portsmouth's independent coffee shop scene, which has exploded in the last few years.

Little Old Goose

I’m really inspired by people who are not just living their lives but ‘curating’ their lives. I know it sounds a bit ‘way out’ but people who follow their true calling and take time to make their souls happy. I met Lucy Davies at a wedding fair in Winchester a few years ago and she came back onto my radar last year when I was planning an event and I realised she lived in Southsea.

March Things To Do

March is a great month as the nights are getting lighter, Spring is on the way and bulbs are coming out. Tulips are lovely flowers to pop up and of course the daffodil which brings on the feeling of Easter. So here are a few of our favourite things to do this March. Whatever you do have fun!

The Urban Sketcher

Setting up Southsea Folk we have had some rather cool followers and one that kept popping up was Joe Hart. Watching his Instagram I could see a few photos that started to have a pattern, buildings! What I found myself doing was waiting to see which urban place he was going to draw next. Loving sketches I felt drawn to his work and decided I had to meet him.

Self Love Workshop

For some reason, I ended up partying like I was 17 last night which didn’t bode well for the self-love workshop I was booked onto at 10am this morning. I could think of so many things I’d rather be doing than going to a hippie dippie workshop with gongs and chanting - I could lie on my sofa and catch up with Celebs Go Dating.

Natural Treatment Room

I heard about The Natural Therapy Room when Ed from The Southsea Abode did my hair. Ed and Louise are friends and he promotes her in his salon. He was singing her praises, and her prices seemed so reasonable, I thought I would give her a try (plus I was mega stressed and desperately in need of some R&R).

The Southsea Abode

What better way to gather content for a feature than to chat to a really lovely bloke while he makes you tea and pampers you for three hours? I visited the new, yet to officially open, Southsea Abode salon last week for looooong overdue highlights and a cut.
