Welcome to the Easter issue! As I write this letter it is snowing hard, but the weather will no doubt improve soon and we will  all feel more inspired to get out and about. There is plenty to interest everybody in this  issue ; beautiful gardens to visit, pubs to sample and a great competition to enter. You could win a fantastic hamper of pork goodies from Wicks Manor Farm: just go to the competition page on the website to see how to enter.

If you have something we should report about local businesses, life, people or events, then please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
