LETTER FROM THE EDITOR As we embrace this ‘new normal’ way of living, many of us will be considering our options and making plans again. Among those plans might be resuming travel and finally booking that long‑awaited holiday. But how do you navigate travel in the current era, with all its rules and regulations? In our feature Get ready to roam again we speak to travel agents and experts that share advice for navigating your next trip with ease. As we wave goodbye to summer and enter a new season, some of us may be looking to review our house values or could be contemplating a move later in the year. In our story Property market ‘very strong’, experts share an overview of how the local housing market has been performing and what to expect in the coming months. As the season shifts, many of us might be looking to change what we eat and making efforts to incorporate more beneficial foods into our diet. Enter herbs. Full of incredible medicinal qualities, as well as a great way to pack flavour into any dish, our story Handy herbs shares how you can make the most of herbs this season. Autumn signals the beginning of the cosy season, where you can curl up with a blanket on the couch and get lost in a good book. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we’ve got some great recommendations for you. From insightful non-fiction to exciting page turners, we share the books to fall in love with this autumn in Fine autumn reads. I hope you enjoy the stories in this issue.
