Who ordered the sunshine? It really felt like 1976 all over again! No complaints here. As Wales enjoys some glorious summer weather, there’s no better time to slow down, get out and about, and enjoy everything our wonderful corner of the world has to offer.

This issue, link below, is packed with inspiration, starting with our fabulous Cover Stars, Paula and Richard of Priory Kitchens in Porthcawl, whose beautiful designs prove that the kitchen really can be the heart of the home.

Elsewhere, you’ll find summer fashion, delicious food, tempting travel ideas and, of course, the fantastic independent businesses that give the Vale and surrounding areas so much of their character.

It’s one of the things we love most about producing Vale Life – meeting the people behind these businesses and sharing their stories. Shopping, eating and spending locally really does make a difference, so if something catches your eye in these pages, please do pay them a visit and tell them you saw them in Vale Life.

Whether you’re reading us in the garden, on the beach, over a leisurely coffee or with the fan pointed firmly in your direction, we hope this issue brings you plenty of inspiration, a few smiles and perhaps somewhere new to discover.

Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the rest of the summer and, most of all, enjoy Vale life!
