Catch up on the latest from around the county NEWS WOLFIN’ AROUND Wolves at your wedding is a big secret to keep! But that’s what happened when the Watermill Wolves took part in Don’t Tell The Bride recently. The groom was desperate to have Bond, the local business’ top wolfie star, as ring bearer. But how to pull it off? The team came up with a cunning plan. Head trainer Natalie Lagstrom tells us more: “We met the groom for a sneaky swap; the rings for a silver whistle. When the ceremony began the groom cheekily handed his bride the whistle, much to her surprise. She nevertheless took it from him and sounded the call. Bond immediately answered, running towards her with the rings attached to a neck ribbon, hurtling up the aisle to gasps from assembled guests. As practised, he jumped up, matching the groom’s full height and allowing the ribbon to be undone as the bride laughed, delighted by her wild surprise. Bond, with his huge toothy grin, then left to the crowd’s cheers.” Find out how to have one of Watermill Wolves’ stunning animals be a part of your big day at www.watermillwolves.co.uk Nearlywed ROMANTIC GETAWAY Tinwood Estate has announced plans to build five more luxury lodges bringing its total offering to eight. The new lodges will have the same design and layout as the existing ones and will be positioned among the vines for a fully immersed vineyard experience. The existing three lodges at Tinwood Estate have already proven popular and are usually fully booked across the peak summer months. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic retreat in the Sussex countryside, the lodges overlook Tinwood’s vines.
