The sun eventually chased the rain away on Saturday evening for St Giles Hospices Solstice Walk, organised to raise funds for support and care at their hospice. Hundreds of people turned out to take part with many of them going the pre walk “Welcome Party” which live music from Kodachrome and hair styling provided by Pure Hair & Spa of Four Oaks. Preparations are already underway for next years “Safari Solstice Walk” and you book your place by clicking the link https://buff.ly/2V0YzmF
