Brunch With… Katie Fox 🦩
We’re back with another edition of Brunch With… - our series of conversations with interesting local people over food, drink and good company at Flamingo.
This time, we sat down with Ashley Cross businesswoman, estate agent and community champion Katie Fox over brunch at Flamingo Ashley Cross.
With 27 years in property, Katie’s story goes far beyond selling homes. We chatted about building her own business, balancing work and family, championing women in the industry, launching a community newspaper and why she’s so passionate about the place she calls home. 
Plus, Katie shares her take on the Ashley Cross property market, the opportunities for first-time buyers - and why her perfect day involves the beach, good food and a few glasses of wine. 
Follow Katie and her businesses at @katiefoxea and @welovelocalbh14 🏡🦩

Summer at Boscombe Spa ☀️
Paddleboards from Down The Line Surf Shop. A fresh morning on the water. Brunch at Flamingo.
Sometimes the best days are the simplest.

Fifty years of Sea Road, Boscombe Spa.

Pic 2 - Parade of elephants making their way down toward the sea to cool off, straight from Billy Smart’s Circus at Boscombe Hippodrome (now the @o2academybmouth). 
Pic 3 - The present day, @downthelinesurf_bournemouth - Boards, Hardware, Clothing - serving the local and visiting surfing community. 
Pic 4 - Flamingo Café Bar, open daily from 9am-late 🦩
Boscombe Spa has always had a little bit of magic about it. A place that surprises you. That refuses to be ordinary.
The names above the door have changed. The world has changed. But the sea is still there. The sun still hits the same spot in the afternoon. And people still make their way down Sea Road to enjoy the beautiful Boscombe beach. 
Let’s have a great summer ☀️
Rave warehouses at 16. Ministry of Sound at 21. Back behind the decks at 40-something.
