Lost in Music, Vintage Homeware & A Soulful Slice
It's February!
It’s been a busy week, and I am coming to you live this week (and perhaps a few minutes late). There’s been the good, from the amazing additions to the Light Up Trail, to the not-so-good and the reckless vandalism to 15 town centre businesses. I like to think that good always comes from bad, and the community response to our post was amazing - from random donations to businesses, to purchases, to just kind words. Thank you for reminding those affected of why they do what they do. Onwards and upwards, here are this week’s events.
Don’t miss out, until next time - EJP x
