WELCOME
POSING UP A STORM ON A GETAWAY TO BRIGHTON !
Britain can be a bit ‘ weather and politics ’ at times , then suddenly , between scattered showers and ongoing referendum resentment , when the sun starts to shine , it shines a unifying light – we all seem to forget our worries and head out for a muchneeded dose of vitamin D . There are plenty of ways to get out into the elements across Kent , some of which are daring , some of which are calming , but all of which are surprisingly accessible . Head to p57 for 15 packed pages detailing our county ’ s life-affirming bounty of elemental activities .
Perhaps your idea of embracing summer ’ s warming sun is less to do with getting active and more to do with making sure you ’ re looking your best from top to toe , in which case we have you covered too . Our handy guide to summer skin from p135 is a veritable beauty bible covering everything from safe sunbathing and prepping your pins , to making sure your hands and feet aren ’ t left in the shade .
Elsewhere , it ’ s the time of year when church bells start merrily ding-donging to celebrate weddings galore ; if you ’ re planning your big day ( or planning to propose , in fact ), check out our extended wedding feature from p73 for inspiration on everything from this year ’ s top trends , showstopping cakes , Kent ’ s incredible amount of beautiful venues , and of course THE DRESS .
We couldn ’ t possibly forget food and drink – two things that go hand in hand with sunshine and socialising . Starting with a round up of everything ice cream in Kent on p105 , we ’ ve checked out our fair share of excellent eateries and reviewed them for you , plus we ’ ve rounded up this summer ’ s coolest drinks on p119 – you ’ ll be surprised at the range , both soft and alcoholic , that you can find to delight thirsty guests .
