Don't Miss: Seaside CEO, Summer Fair & Plunder's 1st Birthday
Happy summer solstice!
It’s the longest day of the year, the sun has been shining, and there’s a whole week of good weather ahead. We’re in that time when I pinch myself that the morning walk includes a toe dip in the sea, and hours of gorgeous light. There’s also tons on offer in terms of events, so without further ado…
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
