What an amazing start to the project, there’s a few tweaks needed but Rome wasn’t built in a day, roll on 2022! X

Shoutout to Light Up Whitstable - Christmas 2021 for making Whitstable’s High Street sparkle. I know I’m going to accidentally leave someone out, but special thanks to Pure Indulgence By The Sea’s Janine and Ship Centurion’s Roland for their drive and determination to make this happen, and to James at Duma for everything he does to make Harbour Street sparkle. And thank you, Eleanor Preston, for the photo.
