No sooner than the summer issue of Vale Life hits the streets that we were inundated with requests to re-stock. There are only so many copies to go around and it seems that the 10,000 copies we publish just aren't enough to satiate our readers hungry for the inside knowledge of what's going down in the Vale and beyond.

It's not surprising that this issue is popular, as you seem to like our take on summer fashion, our mix of mouth watering recipes and restaurant reviews and our suggestions on where to eat al fresco this summer.

We've even managed to meet none other than Richard Jones, bass player with Stereophonics and his lovely wife Gail, who welcomed us into their lovely home in the Welsh valleys. Spacefittingfurniture designed and fitted their kitchen which they were absolutely delighted with. They also gave us a tour of the rest of the house and we then and enjoyed a lovely cup of tea. How very rock and roll!

Look out for your summer copy. Hope you get one before they all go!

See you in the autumn.
