Hello readers 2023 is forging ahead. How did we get to June already?

We have several new advertisers this month including Helen Burrell, formerly of the Melbourne Visitors Centre.

She had some amazing jewellery and offers a bespoke service too. If youre looking for a special piece why not not take a look.

If you have children then please have a look at the Funtopia coming to Loughbourough on Sunday 25th June in the Southfields Park on Leicester Rd. If you have a child with autism it has a more relaxed and suitable setting to allow them to enjoy the fun to. Not all events offer this and as someone who has a friend with a child with autism, she was thrilled her daughter can be included.

The recipe in this issue is for Cantonese Lemon Chicken which is a slimming world recipe.

Enjoy the summer months and take care.

Take care til next time, Rachel
