Eastlife Summer 2020 (Web)
Dear Reader, I wanted to let you know as a team here at Eastlife, we’ve been working hard during these uncertain times. We are lucky enough to be able to work from home on our laptops and are passionate about being your guide to the East. Therefore, after much discussion we decided to proceed with our summer issue. Though circumstances are uncertain at the time of print as COVID-19 hurls towards its peak, the articles in this magazine are there to offer some light relief and distraction. The articles aim to inspire you for happier times ahead. Just know that we will travel again, we’ll dance at festivals and concerts, we’ll dine out with friends and our glorious coastline will be waiting for us when this is over. As an independent publishing company, we rely on our wonderful advertisers to create a great read and we continue to support them through this difficult time. We’ll continue posting online at www.eastlife.co.uk and you can follow us on our social media platforms for relevant content during this time. Stay home, stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side!
