WELCOME
What a year it’s been – we’re
already halfway through! I always
seem to find myself wishing away the
months, anticipating the next big event
or the next sunny week, only to get through
30 days to find myself wishing for next
month. In June, I’m going to make an
effort to stop wishing and enjoy each day
for what it is. Gloomy day with nothing
on the calendar? I’m going to embrace it
rather than wish it away, and try to keep
in mind that there’s always something to
do in our beautiful county, rain or shine.
On those days when you’re sitting at
home, wondering what to do, wonder no
more. As part of our annual Arts Issue,
we’ve come up with Kent’s top 100 arts
and culture hotspots (p44), highlighting
some of the Garden of England’s best
galleries, museums, theatres and events,
from Dartford to Deal.
And of course it wouldn’t be insideKENT
without boasting about some of the
fabulous food available in our towns and
villages. This month, the county’s most
mouth-watering fish and chips is on the
menu – have a look at our top spots
starting on page 97. And for dessert?
Caaake. Cupcakes to be exact. To
celebrate National Cupcake Day on 13th
June, we’ve included some delicious
recipes for you to try out at home (p83).
Doing anything exciting this month? We’d
love to hear all about it – keep in touch
on social media @insideKENT, or email
[email protected]
with your plans, ideas or news. Bring on
the summer!
