WHAT ’ S NOT TO LOVE THIS SUMMER !
Summer is a fantastic time of year to be in Winchester , with the warm weather bringing everyone out onto the streets .
In this issue we explore the great outdoors in all its forms , including alfresco dining , picnics , open-air theatre , Summer sport , festivals and more .
Out and about we meet Lainston House ’ s green-fingered kitchen gardener , Stef Bradfield , and find out where popular Police Community Support Officer Rob Window recommends for a perfect day in Winchester .
Feeling peckish ? Then enjoy plenty of pages of local food and drink – from tried and tested fish and chip shops to new openings across the city .
Follow us on Facebook and on Instagram , where we post daily news , community appeals and reviews . We ’ re very proud of our 12,000-strong following and what it does in the community to bring people together .
This work was marked by 10 Downing Street in its national Points of Light awards programme , and it was a huge honour to accompany Steve Brine MP to a reception for local media champions at Downing Street recently .
You can see pictures of the many people who do great things for others on our Community Wall in The Brooks Shopping Centre and you ’ ll find more of them in this issue ’ s social diary pages .
