Kent Coast has to offer. And talking of East Kent, as 2018 marks the centenary of some women getting the vote, we take a look at some local females who’ve made a name for themselves. If you’re planning a spring break, now’s the time to explore the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, while closer to home, beat the unpredictable April showers with our round-up of colourful fashions, and check out what’s new in bedrooms for 2018. There’s all our regular features too – from food, beauty and education to business, property and arts – so take time out this Easter to enjoy a good read!
