Lyme Regis, Lyme Bay & East Devon

​Our coastal storytelling home​

Lyme Regis, Lyme Bay and the East Devon coast are at the heart of so much of what we create as DaysLikeThis.Life.
 

This coastline is more than a beautiful backdrop. It's where we write, broadcast, walk, explore, eat, laugh, film, make memories and build stories as a family.
 

From our home studio overlooking beautiful Lyme Bay, between Beer and Seaton, we broadcast Brett’s Old Time Radio Show, a daily classic radio, mystery and nostalgia podcast reaching listeners around the world.
 

It is also a place that has helped shape our books, family adventures, seaside days, rockpooling trips, local visits, café stops and the everyday moments that become part of the DaysLikeThis.Life story.
 

This is one of the places we call home, and one of the places we are proud to champion.

​

​

Why Lyme Bay matters to us

There is something very special about this stretch of coast.
 

The character of Lyme Regis, the views across Lyme Bay, the charm of Beer, the family feel of Seaton, the history around Colyton, and the wider East Devon and Jurassic Coast landscape have all become part of our family story.

We are not just passing through with a camera. We genuinely love this area.

It is where our family slows down, reconnects, finds inspiration and creates some of our most meaningful content, whether that is a walk by the sea, a visit to a local café, a children’s adventure, a podcast broadcast, a book idea, or a quiet moment looking out across the bay.
 

That is exactly what DaysLikeThis.Life is about: real places, real family life and the little moments that become lasting memories.

​

​

Broadcasting from Lyme Bay​

Brett’s Old Time Radio Show is broadcast daily from our home studio overlooking Lyme Bay.
 

The show has become a major part of our wider media world, bringing classic radio drama, golden-age mystery, nostalgia, bedtime listening and calm night-time storytelling to a loyal international audience.
 

For listeners, it is not just about old radio shows. It is about atmosphere, routine, comfort and a familiar voice at the end of the day.

Lyme Bay gives the show part of its identity, calm, coastal, warm, familiar and quietly timeless.

​

​

Books inspired by East Devon​

East Devon and the Lyme Bay coastline are also woven into our books.

The Little Blue Car series takes inspiration from the roads, villages, coastlines and family-friendly character of the area.
 

Patriot is set around Colyton, giving one of East Devon’s historic towns a place in our fiction.
 

Our family’s seaside adventures, rockpooling trips and love of coastal discovery also connect naturally with William’s Wild World: Secrets of the Seashore, William’s children’s nature book inspired by real shoreline exploring.
 

We love stories that grow out of places people recognise, not in a dry guidebook way, but in a warm, lived-in way that makes readers feel connected to somewhere.
 

For us, Lyme Regis, Lyme Bay, Beer, Seaton, Colyton and the wider East Devon area are not just settings.
 

They are part of the storytelling.

​

A local family creator brand with real reach​

DaysLikeThis.Life is a UK Content Creator Awards finalist family storytelling brand built around real life, humour, travel, books, podcasting, local places and everyday adventure.
 

Our content reaches people through short-form video, YouTube, social media, books, podcasting, blog-style storytelling and family-led features.

For local businesses across Lyme Regis, Lyme Bay, Dorset and East Devon, that creates a genuine opportunity.
 

We offer a safe, positive and family-friendly way to reach people through real stories, not forced adverts or content that feels disconnected.
 

The best collaborations are the ones that fit naturally into our family life, our audience, our books, our podcast and the places we already love.

​

For us, this part of the coast is not just a location tag. It is part of the rhythm of our family life and the creative heart of what we do - from quiet mornings in Beer, Colyford and Seaton to stories shaped by Colyton, Lyme Bay, Lyme Regis and the wider East Devon coast.

​

​

Why work with DaysLikeThis.Life?​

Local businesses need more than a quick advert that disappears.

They need visibility, trust, personality and content that real people actually notice.
 

Depending on the collaboration, DaysLikeThis.Life can help with:
 

social media features
family visit content
short-form video
YouTube content
blog-style stories
podcast mentions or tie-ins
book-related features
event visits
product or venue features
family-friendly reviews
seasonal campaigns
destination storytelling
press-style local stories
 

The aim is always to make the content feel human, useful and engaging, not like a cold advert.
 

For businesses across Lyme Regis, Lyme Bay, Dorset and East Devon, we want DaysLikeThis.Life to be seen as a safe, trusted and effective place to collaborate.

​

​

Local stories, wider reach​

Our content is rooted in real places, but designed to travel far beyond them.

A family visit in Lyme Regis, a café stop in Beer, a book feature from Colyton, a coastal walk near Seaton, or a story from East Devon can reach people far outside the local area when it is told well.
 

That is the power of combining local pride with digital storytelling.

We want to help shine a light on the places, businesses and people that make Lyme Bay, Dorset and East Devon special, while also giving local partners access to the wider reach of the DaysLikeThis.Life audience.​​
