It’s that time of year again when we are busy planning our holidays, if you fancy getting
away from the everyday hustle and bustle of life, need time to relax and recharge your batteries then this may be the thing for you!

areas used for Pilates, music production and arts orientated projects. There is also direct access from the grounds to three quiet coves suitable for bathing and the picturesque South East coastal path.
Elder flowers are everywhere right now, in gardens, hedgerows, and parks and because the plant is a weed and an abundant one at that, it’s fine to help yourself. It’s the white frothy flower you see growing on a tree rather than a bush. If you are in any doubt, smell it and you’ll recognise its distinctive scent.
Shake off any insects from the elderflowers and snip away the stalks.
Our friends at 
fresh look at dating and social networking. Their events are tailored to be interactive instantly helping ease the awkwardness felt when meeting new people. Soul Mate Events are upmarket and stylish and are aimed at the more discerning customer.
Starting from £45.00 per person, it’s great value 
for an evening out. The interactive element of the evening takes your mind off the fact that it is a “single’s event” and allows people to relax and act more naturally. It also takes the guesswork out of knowing who is potentially single, so if there is someone there that catches your eye, then if you are feeling brave you can make the first move!

music is great! The classes I h
is a great for those limited on time, due to the 
effectiveness of training & the fact that many muscle groups are activated at the same time. It’s claimed that 10 minutes on the Power-Plate will have the same results as 60 minutes of conventional strenuous training. RESULT!

Mothering Sunday is the perfect day to pay tribute to your Mum and show

Saint Patrick’s Day has come to be associated with 
celebration of everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick’s Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal, commemorating the life of the great apostle of Ireland and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
As always, there’ll be plenty of Guinness memorabilia up for grabs and raffles
