We’re remembering…
OUR VISIT TO THE SPREAD EAGLE HOTEL AND SPA
Oh, how we love a weekend escape, and oh how we especially adored our getaway to The Spread
Eagle in West Sussex. We visited two years ago, and still think about our time there. From the
history to the food, to the luxurious spa experience, this hotel is one we’d love to revisit, again
and again and again!

We’re savouring…
COCKTAILS-TO-CHILL
Just because we’re looking forward to Christmas doesn’t mean we can’t savour every last drop of summer,
including these mouth-watering cocktail chocolates from Hotel Chocolat. Delicious at room temperature
or even better chilled.

ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE
Eleanor Oliphant has learned how to survive - but not how to
live. Eleanor Oliphant leads a simple life. She wears the same
clothes to work every day, eats the same meal deal for lunch
every day and buys the same two bottles of vodka to drink every
weekend. Eleanor Oliphant is happy. Nothing is missing from
her carefully timetabled life. Except, sometimes, everything.
One simple act of kindness is about to shatter the walls Eleanor
has built around herself. Now she must learn how to navigate
the world that everyone else seems to take for granted - while
searching for the courage to face the dark corners she's avoided
all her life.

THE UK’S LONGEST AND
HIGHEST TREE-TOP
WALKWAY AT
GROOMBRIDGE PLACE
For an unforgettable family adventure, visit Groombridge Place near Tunbridge
Wells, to discover the amazing new handcrafted Treetops Walkway which is an
incredible 350m long and stands at over 20m above the forest floor. For nature
lovers, this is a chance to see the wildlife living in the tree canopy and observe
the beautiful Fallow Deer which frequent the forest.
There are sturdy wooden platforms at the beginning and end of the Treetops
Walkway and a big chunky 4-sided rope ladder provides an additional entry and
exit point along the away.

We’re looking forward to…
CHRISTMAS!
It’s September, so we’re allowed to start talking about Christmas, right?
Whether you love it or hate it, we can’t help but look forward to cold
nights, open fires, Christmas decorations and mulled wine – especially
these aromatic organic mulling spices from Steenbergs.
