EDITOR’S LETTER

By the time you read this it will have been the Bank Holiday weekend of celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and hopefully amongst the celebrations the sun decided to pop out from behind the clouds.

But as we all know the Great British summertime has a mind of its own, which is why it’s so popular when the sun is shining that we all love to spend as much time as we can outdoors. For most of us our gardens have now become an extension of our homes and how they’re styled is just as important as our inside interior. We’ve put together some of our favourite garden furniture pieces (page 37) to ensure your garden is a stylish sanctuary to enjoy this summertime.

To me summer ready, also means updating my wardrobe with a few pieces I know will see me through the summer and beyond, page 21 gives you lots of inspiration for your summer wardrobe.

We’re ELEVEN years old this month, so we thought we’d celebrate with a double GIVEAWAY! We’ve teamed up with our friends at LPH Concerts to give EIGHT lucky readers a pair of tickets to this years Bedford Park Concerts, if you fancy winning tickets to either Simply Red or Café Mambo Ibiza tickets, turn to page 48 and 49 to see how to enter.

Whether it’s a staycation or a trip around the world, there’s one thing we all love to do – Travel! We’ve got both for you to choose from as well as our review of The Gate House on the Wolterton Park Estate, page 53 tells you more.

Happy Summer!
