Pre-wedding parties on the water with Lymington-based Raggy&Boo

Raggy&Boo website

Push the boat out for your hen party with a weekend aboard a yacht sailing around the Solent.

Sound like your idea of fun? Then Lymington-based Raggy&Boo has just the thing. The event management specialists are offering an exciting package full of fun, action and relaxation, on and off the water. With your own private skipper for two days of daytime sailing, you and your best girls or boys will be treated with goodies on arrival while you settle into your sailing boat and spend the first night in Lymington harbour to enjoy the pubs, bars and restaurants of the buzzing Georgian town.

The skipper will set sail the following morning so you can sit back and relax, enjoy the views or get involved if you fancy it, before berthing for the second night in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. 

Day sailing packages are also available, for full details visit www.raggyandboo.com

House of Janneke, a new lifestyle brand, launches Book of Special Days

The Book of Special Days is a keepsake journal that gives special moments a home. This isn't a diary. There are no rules, no schedules, no need to write in it every day.  There is a page for every day of the year, but no printed years. After a special day, you find the date, add the year and write down what made it worth remembering. Over time, this book will become something more: a living archive of your days, a weave of stories across the years, a place for little joys, victories big and small, laughter shared and milestones you cherish. It holds what you don't want to forget, a trove of the ordinary and the extraordinary, all treasured alike.
