Welcome

As we march into March — spring is just around the corner and I can’t wait! Finally, the evenings are starting to get noticeably lighter and the weather is ever so slightly less bitter. Our beautiful countryside is beginning to regain its colour and everything feels that bit more positive.

March brings with it Mothering Sunday and the chance to say thank you to our amazing and hard-working Mums, for those of us lucky enough to have them in our life. It can be easy to get caught up the year-round, and forget to show your appreciation to those closest to you, so on this day it is a great opportunity to do just that. If you want to treat your Mum on Mother’s Day, find our impressive spread on P.28 and gift inspiration on P.34.
