POW in the Park, Wings Wednesday & Nordic Walking

Plus, a very happy Summer Solstice 🌞

That’s it. It’s officially summer, and boy, is the weather supporting the solstice. For a girl who lives in cowboy boots, I am sweltering. I hope this email finds you packing your swimwear and suncream for a day at the beach.

Sandy sarnies and sea dips not your thing? You’re in luck. Our second edition is here, and it’s just as fun-filled. On that note, thank you so much for the gorgeous reception to Don’t Miss Ramsgate. George and I are thrilled about this new chapter, and we can’t wait to see it grow.

Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x

Worth noting that both the Don't Miss founder and my pooch are named George - they’re both excited!
