Let's start with some rather lovely news this week - Manningtree has been named the East regional winner in The Times Best Places to Live guide. I was actually interviewed by The Times radio team last week (and sworn to secrecy!), so there's’s been a quiet little excitement behind the scenes - and such a joy to now be able to share it. Enjoy this news and read all about what's happening at NaviStitch and in the Sail Loft Gallery
