Editor’s note

Welcome to the Febuary edition of the magazine. I hope that you are all keeping well and are now looking forward to the Spring - it is going to be very tough for everyone with the current cost of living crisis and the state of the world that we live in. I don’t ever remember things been as bad as they are now - please continue to use the local businesses, shops, tradesmen and services that advertise in the magazine - it really does help our local economy, the local employment situation and ultimately the planet when you do.

We have an interesting and varied range of topics in this edition for your enjoyment ranging from A Special NHS 4 Page Pull Out, a feature on Hotel Destinations for under £200 to Rebekah’s Favourite Make-Up Tricks feature. In the House & Home feature we take a look at Book Shelves and Listed Properties. We also have a very informative news article from our local Police & Crime Commissioner - Jonathan Evison about the work that he is doing. We also have our usual round up of all the New Books to read this month. Roy Woodcock takes a look at the Nissan Qashqai in his Motoring Column

We have our regular Gardening column with Patrick White who takes a look at Carrots. The Food & Drink section has a great American Style Pancake recipe for you to cook up for Shrove Tuesday. We also have our regular Wine Column with Roy Woodcock who relays the latest wine news and takes a look at the best wine buys currently available. As usual we finish off with Fiona Dwyer’s ‘food for thought’

Until next month take care and look after each other
