COVER:

I

am delighted to say that to help us get motivated for spring, we have an interview with Mo Farah (pg 6) run on 2013! We have the latest diary journal from local resident, Ella Walker on her audition at the Beck Theatre (pg 20) since last months feature on the rising star as well as an interview with a local author, Martin Etheridge on his kindle e-book, ‘What a Load of Rubbish’. We have Susie Heavens on Aphrodisiac foods (pg 9 ) to help with Valentines day and we hear about Sara Ward’s buzzing time with her bees at Hen Corner (pg 8), not to mention a dad’s perspective on his experience with his local NCT group (pg 11). There is a local resident rant (pg 18) as well as Philip Walker’s column on the wonders of the iPad (pg 15). Our favourite local history writer, Linda Lingham Taylor raises her glass to the breweries in the area (pg 12) whilst Kate Proops tells us why she loves libraries (pg 16).

I would like to say a yearly thank you to all our advertisers and welcome new ones in 2013. This will be an amazing year for out&about, so watch this space.

I hope you enjoy reading and supporting it as much as we enjoy producing it.
