welcome
March is that much anticipated month where we get a sneak preview of the season to come: flowers
pop out of the ground by the thousands, the sun peeks through the clouds just a little more often, and
we might even see the temperature tip into the upper teens. Woo! Spring is on the way!
This year, March also brings with it Easter (slightly earlier than usual), and an annual favourite for lots of
ladies across the country: Mother’s Day. If you’re a mama who enjoys a day of pampering, have a look at
some of the best places for afternoon tea in Kent on page 53, or see if one of our top Mother’s Day gifts
tickles your fancy on page 71. I’ll be spending the day with my three boys, probably making cakes and
burgers out of Play-Doh; can’t think of a more perfect way to spend an afternoon.
As for Easter, we’ve got you covered – from a gourmet Easter feast (p36) to hot cross buns with a twist
(p39), and a smorgasbord of Easter treats to wake up to on the Sunday morning (p50). As usual, Kent
doesn’t let us down as far as events are concerned, with plenty of bunny-themed days out to choose
from (p33).
Whatever your plans, enjoy the month, breathe in the fresh, soon-to-be warm air, and enjoy your
chocolate eggs! Stay in touch at [email protected] or on Facebook (/insideKENT) and
Twitter (@insideKENT).
Happy Mother’s Day!
