Summer will soon be upon us and I for one have definitely been enjoying the wonderful sunshine we have been experiencing of late. Here’s hoping it continues a little while longer! Nothing says summer more than a beach and the Willow Brook Centre are pleased to have their sandy beach available again for all to enjoy. Perfect timing for this wonderful half term weather!

Having just recently returned from Badminton Horse Trials (as I write this) and been awed by the history making duo who won this prestigious event, we have included a feature on hard-working mums and also local residents helping to keep up the traditions. As you will also notice, we are looking for a person to join us in producing the local magazines. If you think you are the right person to help, we’d love to hear from you.
