If you’re not into listening to great music, becoming a more cultured individual, or eating yummy snacks, then I don’t know what to tell you. But for all you normal people out there who enjoy listening to Coldplay whilst gazing at fine art and eating a palm-sized bunt cake, this summer should rock your socks.
