OK let's face it, summer was a bit of a non-event. Not nearly enough fun in
the sun even for those of us who managed to get away for a few short weeks.
So in this issue of the magazine we've concentrated on helping you get the
max out of the mellow season.
In Al Fresco there are emergency picnic ideas for those who want to
make the
most of the autumn sunshine. We also have a recommendation for a
Soul Space
weekend which, since its in Wales, would be improved by good weather
but is not essential to the enjoyment of the experience.
