An evening not to be missed! www.marlowetheatre.com We’re listening to… CHRISTMAS MUSIC 100 HITS ON SPOTIFY Don’t get me wrong; there’s a time and a place for Slade and Wham! at Christmas, but when you’re cosied up in front of a fire after a December day of meetings, school runs and housework, there’s nothing better than Bing, Nat and Ella to get you into the spirit. This playlist features all of your festive favourites by classic artists of yesteryear, with a few pop hits mixed in. We’re curling up under a blanket with… THE LIFE COLLECTION DVD BOX SET I can’t think of anything better than binge-watching hours upon hours of David Attenborough’s nature series on a cold winter’s day. This complete collection of David’s groundbreaking wildlife documentary series includes: Life on Earth, The Trials of Life, Life in the Freezer, The Private Life of Plants, The Life of Birds, The Life of Mammals, The Living Planet, and Life in the Undergrowth. £39.99, www.amazon.co.uk We’re indulging in… MR BLACK COLD BREW COFFEE LIQUEUR December is a month of indulgence, and if you’re a coffee lover, sipping on an espresso martini made with Mr Black is a must. Simple is best, and in Mr Black, there are only two ingredients: Austrailian grain spirit and Arabica coffee beans from Papua New Guinea, Kenya and El Salvador. The perfect winter tipple. £31.25, www.thewhiskyexchange.com We’re giving ourselves time to… RECHARGE FOR THE NEW YEAR As each year passes by in the blink of an eye, the team at insideKENT is finding it more and more important to make sure we get the work/life balance thing right. As we’ve grown over the years, there have been times where we can’t seem to put work down and just enjoy life, but this year, we hope you’ll join us in putting work aside at Christmas to just chilllllll, to make sure we’re recharged and ready for 2019! 17
