Hello from our Queen Bee We hope that you and yours are safe and well. It has been, and continues to be, a very worrying time and our thoughts go to all those who have been, or are still, suffering with COVID-19, as well as their families and friends and, of course, those on the front line. Happily, we have spoken to many people who have beaten the virus and are now back to good health. That has certainly given us hope and strength in these difficult times of isolation. In this special online edition we are pleased to welcome a new gardening expert who will be helping us to “go potty” this spring and, in our food pages, an outdoor banquet that the household can enjoy and we can practice, ready for when we can invite friends over! Our Guest Chef dishes up seasonal food and John, our wine expert, brings us wines to savour.
The Local Buzz • May & June 2020
Whilst, for obvious reasons, our What’s On pages are focusing on June events you can find some details for May online. Speaking online, literally, is featured in Learning and Improving French and, ready for when “the tide has turned” and we can take to the water, we are looking at canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddling. If you’ve been thinking about installing or upgrading your pool or spa we are also diving in with some ideas, including the latest innovations. Finally, the support from our advertisers has been incredible and we would like to thank them, most sincerely, for their commitment to The Local Buzz. Keep safe, keep well and look after each other.
