East Lothian Current: 🌊 27th June 2024
Boozy Bookclubs, Local Markets and the World Rock Stacking Championships...
The observant among you will notice I’m a day late with this newsletter - some busy work days got in my way this week! I thought about rushing this issue out yesterday evening, but decided to take a break and get some fresh air - and immediately felt happier, calmer, and much more inspired to write.
I spotted this deer by Tyninghame beach - a good reminder that sometimes it’s fine to take your time and enjoy the sunshine.
What’s On
🧶 To Shop: Tyninghame Wee Fair is back on Sunday in the village hall, with a whole host of new stallholders. You know the drill by now - grab a bacon roll and a coffee from The Smithy, then potter to your heart’s delight.
📚 To Read: (and maybe enjoy a drink as well…) The Boozy Book Club is hosting an author zoom with Liz Nugent at the Marine in North Berwick. The event is tonight, but it looks like tickets are still available.
🤘🏻 To Rock: The World Rock Stacking Championships is coming to Dunbar next month. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Take a look at some of the incredible photos on their instagram.
🌯 To Eat: Archerfield Walled Garden is hosting another of their Summer Street Food events this Saturday. You’ll find food from Slumdog, The Big Blu and more, drinks from Lind & Lime, and music from Wee Sara and the Texans.
👩🏾🌾 To Garden: If (like me) you’ve got big plans for revamping your garden this summer, it’s Dunbar Garden Centre’s Summer Shopping Event this Friday. It’s 20% off all plants, an unbe-leaf-ably good deal (sorry).
