Anyone who knows me well can tell you that one of my most treasured possessions is my Fiat 500 car and my favourite colour is pink. So when this picture of a vintage Fiat 500 in baby pink, lovingly named Rosie and available to hire from Lil & Blue Vintage Fiat 500 Hire based in Wokingham landed in my inbox, I was in love! See more on page 61! I was lucky enough to be invited along to Coppa Club property The Great House in Sonning. It’s not only a picturesque riverside wedding venue but also the ideal retreat for a mini-moon in the region. Don’t miss my review on page 95. These Bride and Wifey weekend bags are a must for any mini-moon! All is revealed on page 69. 6
