LandLove Magazine March 2018 Back Issue

S pring has sprung -- almost! But, as we hazily ramble through March, leaving winter behind us, nature is doing the same. Our favourite flowers are rearing their heads, wildlife are rousing from their winter beds, new life is taking its first breath and we start to feel the bitter cold retreat as the warm rays of sunshine fight through the clouds to bring in the new season. This issue we’re embracing the change that comes at this time of year with fresh and tasty recipes (turn to p.54 for ideas for flavoursome fish), as well as dishes inspired by the season on p.48. Colourful and fragrant flowers are at the forefront of our minds and p.28 offers ways to spruce up your terrace, while p.38 invites you to spot beautiful wildflowers. We’ve also tried our hand at crafting this month, turn to p.72 to see how we transformed eggs and feathers into eye-catching creations that you can use to decorate your home. We’re announcing this year’s LandLove Magazine Award winners in this issue too. You’ve been voting for your favourites over the last few months and now it’s time for us to reveal who your countryside champions are. Hopefully, the nominees you voted for came out on top, but if they didn’t, there’s always next year! We have some very deserving winners this year, and you can read their reactions to taking home the title on p.24. As the weather starts to warm up we thought it was time to get our thinking caps on and ponder where you might be venturing to for your annual staycation.
