welcome
It’ s all been a bit‘ weather and politics’ over the last couple of months, but, somewhere between scattered showers and referendum resentment, there’ s shone a unifying light, and that light has been … sport! From Wales rising during Euro 2016; a resplendent underdog sent to make us all forget our woes and whoop with joy at our screens, to Andy Murray’ s poignant and tear-jerking Wimbledon win, it’ s been brilliant, and it culminates this month in Rio at the 2016 Olympics – everyone’ s favourite sporting stage. If the long jump’ s not your thing, however, there are plenty of ways to get outdoors and get active across our very own county, some of which you’ ll be surprised are as accessible as they are. Head to p85 for three packed pages of suggestions.
Perhaps you’ re more into crafting? Hot on the heels of knitting’ s resurgence as a popular pastime for all generations, making, doing and mending has never been so current, and we’ ve rounded up a whole host of summer crafts for you to try your hand at from p21.
Elsewhere, it’ s the time of year when church bells start merrily ding-donging to celebrate weddings galore; if you’ re planning your big day( or planning to propose, in fact), check out our extended weddings feature from p71 for inspiration on everything from top planning tips, to jewellery, dresses, and, of course, Sussex’ s bounty of beautiful venues.
I must mention food and drink too – something that goes hand in hand with sunshine and socialising. Starting with a round up of contemporary food and drink kit on p33, we’ ve got your catering covered with summer salads, party-appropriate punch, and five pages of light, seasonal recipes, each with their own‘ berry’ twist.
Please find and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @ insidesussexmag to let us know what you think of the mag. See you in September!
