WELCOME
Celebrating the New Year with some sparkling wine from Kent-based Simpsons Wine Imports, www. simpsonswine. com
Welcome to 2017, and a new look for insideKENT! As it’ s the time of year for fresh starts, we thought there’ s no better month to launch a new design – hope you like it as much as we do.
What’ s on your list of resolutions? I’ d like to say mine’ s full of profound goals that I’ ll achieve with boundless dedication and energy, and it will all be documented proudly across my social media for the world to see, but if I said that, I’ d be lying. New Year’ s resolutions last the standard 2-3 weeks for me, then old habits creep back in. I tend not to set anything in stone( to avoid imminent failure), and instead try to make small changes, one at a time.
Whether your resolution-setting style is laid back or fully committed, we can all stand to make a few improvements in our life. Why not start by flipping through this issue, with plenty of ideas and inspiration to help you learn something new, get healthier and find some undiscovered places in our beautiful county.
Here’ s to a happy and prosperous 2017!
