welcome
I’ m always torn when September rolls around; on the one hand my favourite season is upon us, but on the other the glorious summer is coming to an end. I’ ve made sure to enjoy every moment of the sunshine these past few months, so I’ m good and ready for the impending drop in temperature.
We’ re kicking off the new season with all things cosy and comfort – from our favourite curl-up-on-the-sofa novels( p19), to candlelit romantic restaurants( p35), to chilly weather fashion( p77).
I don’ t know about you, but when the leaves start falling from the trees, I head straight for my kitchen to cook up something delicious; there’ s no better excuse to eat than when the weather isn’ t behaving! Just in time for the new season of The Great British Bake Off, we’ re tempting your tastebuds this month with a brilliant baking feature( p47), full of recipes and products to satisfy your inner chef.
If you can’ t cope with summer leaving so soon and still dream of sandy beaches and adventurous retreats, check out our double travel feature, covering the Maldives( p105) and an unexpected holiday that has it all: New Hampshire( p110).
Enjoying every moment of al fresco dining bфore the summer officially ends...
It’ s also that time of year when the kids go back to school, so we’ ve featured some of Kent’ s top educational establishments to give you an idea of the top-notch institutions our county has within its borders( p125).
Love it or hate it, autumn is on its way – enjoy it! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter @ insideKENT – I love to hear your comments and suggestions about the magazine. Until next month...
