    My partner surprised me with a visit to the charming village of Hartfield, and it was such a nostalgic treat — especially since Winnie the Pooh has always been my favourite story.

It was the early 2010s, and I was deep in the world of YouTube — watching Zoella’s vlogs filled with soft fairy lights, candles, and cozy chats in a pastel-toned flat by the sea. Back then, Brighton felt like a whimsical place from another universe…
