Eastlife Spring 2021
This is our fourth issue during the pandemic. Fourth! I can’t quite believe it. Like many other businesses we have learned to adapt. I am no longer flustered when events are cancelled at the last moment before print, it has become the norm.

Dear Reader,<br />
This is our fourth issue during the pandemic. Fourth! I can’t quite<br />
believe it. Like many other businesses we have learned to adapt. I am<br />
no longer flustered when events are cancelled at the last moment<br />
before print, it has become the norm. I no longer debate whether I<br />
should add COVID guidelines to every article, I think we’re all fully<br />
accustomed to wearing a mask and the two-metre rule by now. I<br />
know to include a balance of articles which suggest activities for<br />
lockdown, tiers and normal life (remember that? No, me neither).<br />
However, despite these changes, for the first time in the last 12<br />
months, this issue felt hopeful. With the roll out of the vaccine, I<br />
am hoping this magazine will be read post-lockdown. Confident<br />
attractions will open their doors and welcome us to spring delights.<br />
Optimistic we’ll once again be exploring our favourite holiday<br />
destinations and dining in restaurants. I do hope I am right and<br />
that you’re reading this with a smile on your face, in a beautiful East<br />
Anglian location, in a post-lockdown life.<br />
As always, we love to hear from you. Share your images and thoughts<br />
with us on social media using the hashtag #eastlife.<br />
Best wishes<br />
Emma Kemsley<br />
