Summer's here, and with it the latest edition of Henley Life & Homes which this month is packed full of sunshine! We take you to one of the sunniest corners of Britain, with a trip to the Scilly Isles, and further afield to the Seychelles, where blue skies and even bluer seas bring a smile to Dan Hearn. If peace and quiet, along with a taste of adventure, are what you seek, then the stunning Scilly Isles have it all and a bit more besides: Mary Scriven takes the 'plane to the islands where the pace of life is determined by the weather and the speed of your walking.

Taking time out is the theme of our competitions this month: you could win a fantastic year's membership at Nirvana Spa by entering their on-line competition, or pamper yourself and your partner at the Swan at Streatley: a Jupiter and Juno Spa package is the prize for the lucky winner. And have a go at winning the fabulous meal for two at the Old White Horse in Henley, or at the New Inn in Kidmore End: either offers a great time, a traditional atmosphere and lovely food cooked to perfection just for you!

The art of silversmithing is featured, too: we talk to some young silversmiths who are making the most of their time at Bishopsland, where learning the craft of creating is supported by training in the skills of marketing and management.

And it may be a time of year when the outdoors take precedence, but when better to bring the colours of summer indoors: our interiors feature inspires with the latest trends in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and beyond. Don't forget our regular features too; Roadrunner, Eco-matters Lifestyle Legal and Gardening - to complete your August edition of Henley Life & Homes in style!
