on The Pantiles, or get out into the garden to make the most of the surroundings and sunshine. If the sun fails to shine, escape to warmer climes with our travel feature on intriguing Istanbul or join in the annual Wimbledon fever with a visit to Tunbridge Wells Lawn Tennis Club, one of the oldest in the UK with a history that can be traced back to 1899. And while we’re turning back the clock, we look at our county’s ancient ceremonial roles and ask whether they really have a role in 21st century Kent? On the food front, we celebrate Open Farm Day with a delicious strawberry cheesecake and invite you along to meet legendary Italian chef Antonio Carluccio at his Tunbridge Wells restaurant and shop. Give your home a new look by getting creative with colour in the kitchen, while our pick of the occasion wear offers mix-and-match style. There are all our regular reads too, from motoring and arts to business and education – as well as great competitions including a tailor-made beauty package and tickets to the Hop Farm Music Festival.

67 Editor’s Letter


elcome to your June edition. With the longest day on the 21st June, there’s no disputing that summer really is on its way. I’m counting down the days until I can sit out and dine alfresco while enjoying live Jazz
