Millennium Beacon lit for D-Day 80, Splash Point, Seaford UK
Woohoo! Summer is finally here!
Out in the garden the air is rich with the scent of roses and sweet peas, and the smell of barbecues… (and so will your washing be if you don’t bring it in quick-smart).
It’s a marvellous time of year: Wimbledon is here, England are still in the Euros (just…) and the Love Supreme Festival is about to kick-off.
Everyone seems to have moved into their outdoor agenda: drinks on the patio, entertainment al fresco, picnic hampers and cool boxes having the spiders emptied out of them, shorts de rigeur for even the most knobbly of knees.
Here at Splash Point Towers we are no different. We’ve flung the windows open and let the sunshine in, cleared out the cobwebs and taken our cardis and socks off (steady – Ed.)
Anyone for strawberries and (oat) cream?
And just a reminder – we premiere our new show this month:
“Ella, Louis & Oscar”
… in a fantastic dinner concert at the lovely Relais Cooden Beach Hotel on Saturday 13th July.
We’re taking it to Germany in September but you can save the fare and see it in Bexhill THIS MONTH!
Cooden – The Relais Cooden Beach, Saturday 13th July 2024, 7:30pm
