The Digest 🗞️😀

Remnants of Hurricane Ernesto is expected to hit Surrey this week: Brace yourselves, Surrey! A tropical storm is making its way towards our sunny skies. The remnants of Hurricane Ernesto are expected to bring some unsettled weather our way, with rain and potentially strong winds forecast for early Tuesday morning - luckily we aren’t getting anywhere near it’s full force! 🌪️😲

Gin lovers, you’re in for a treat! The Surrey Gin Fest is back and bigger than ever, and it’s right in our back garden (not literally!). Over 100 different gins from 30 bars will be waiting for you to explore at Loseley Park on September 7th. Whether you're a seasoned gin connoisseur or just starting your journey, it’ll be a fun day! 🍸🥂

Just a friendly reminder that the A3 slip road near Cobham is still closed, and it looks like it'll be a bit longer than we first thought. Originally planned to reopen in July, those roadworks are dragging on and won't be finished until November 30th (not sure I believe that). That means extra time in traffic, especially during rush hour. So if you use that exit for Byfleet, Hersham, Addlestone, or Weybridge, plan your journeys accordingly and try not to let it stress you out. 🚧😟
