LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:

The summer weather is finally with us and I hope that you have enjoyed the long warm days of June and avoided being completely drenched by the occasional thunderstorm. We have lots of interesting articles in this July edition. Sally shares her experiences of taking up scuba diving – an interesting read which illustrates how satisfying and exhilarating being involved in such an activity can be and how it improves you as a person. Georgia Rose’s passion is totally different but equally rewarding. This month, she tells us about her love of writing books and how the process has changed for her over time. Find out what the ‘Healing Walk’ is by reading Hazel’s latest flash fiction piece. Making Me explains how happiness is just around the corner – good news indeed. I’m still moping around after my team Leeds United have been relegated to the Championship. However, you can read Penny’s celebration of her team Luton Town’s fantastic achievement of gaining promotion to the Premier League. Look out too for the regular offerings from Lee’s Garden, Inn Farm Nursery and Canine Corner. And as I say every Month – we have much more besides!
